After Christmas, students are also on winter break. Link will certainly take advantage of this time to travel with the kids.

However, the winter vacation is relatively short, and if you go on a trip around the world, the time is a little tight.

Link only consults with Jessica and the children to decide where to go. This time they're going to Africa. The first stop was, of course, Tanzania, where Link was the most powerful.

Today, the Benihans Group's extension farm in Tanzania has expanded to 280,000 acres. To be able to expand to this size, of course, Benihans Africa has paid a little price.

The farm produces seeds that can supply the needs of the whole of Tanzania. It can also be exported, which has greatly improved Tanzania's international status in Africa.

The Link family didn't come to Tanzania for official business, so after arriving in the country, they took the farm's plane directly to the farm and did not meet with the country's officials or anything.

In just three years, there were more than a dozen villages on the edge of the farm. These villages have cultivated a lot of land. The land is mainly planted with maize or cassava.

Since the farm has enough fresh water and is willing to provide some fresh water to the nearby residents. This led to the gathering of some tribes to form villages. These newly formed villages have access to a little fresh water from the farms, which is supplied free of charge.

The fresh water is obtained on the farm by desalination of seawater.

At the same time, the farm also helps the villages to transform their land. The village's land also receives free algae green manure from the farm's low-cost supply, as well as technical assistance from the farm.

This has led to more and more people gathering around the farm. In the end, the local government divided the surrounding land into various tribes and restricted more tribes from settling here. The farms also stopped providing fresh water and various incentives to new villages, so that no more villages were added.

But those dozen or so villages now form a sizable bazaar next to the road built by the farm.

The Link family first visited the market and spent the night in an African-inspired farm house.

The next day, Link drove around the farm with the kids to see some animals.

For example, bison in Africa. The bison were meant to be migratory, but there was a banana grove on the farm, and the banana grove had a sprinkler irrigation system and plenty of fresh grass underneath. This allowed the bison to settle here. And these bison are also used to each other. Bison eat grass, but their manure nourishes the banana trees.

In addition, a 40,000-acre grassland on the farm is dedicated to a sanctuary for native animals. In this reserve, most of the animals are plant-eating, such as giraffes, zebra wildebeests and the like. This reserve is right on the edge of the farm and is not enclosed. Because of the abundance of pastures, it attracts not only herbivores, but also a large number of birds and a group of lions.

Now there is an animal protection organization working there. The farm gives $100,000 a year to the organization, and the sanctuary is open to the public for tourists, so it has a "hotel."

The hotel is made of wood, which looks very rough. The hotel is completely open and there is a chance that wildlife will come to the vicinity of the hotel. For example, elephants, such as monkeys eating fruit.

But the hotel is not run on a farm, but by the animal protection organization that finances its work. In doing so, we want to get close to the animals. Raise awareness of animal protection.

The Link family came to this hotel because there was an elephant herd nearby. Link wanted the child to see the elephant up close.

Upon learning of his arrival, Jim, the head of the animal protection organization, personally entertained the family, but they didn't wander around because there might be large carnivores like lions nearby. They won't break into the vicinity of the hotel, but they should be taken as a precaution.

When Link and the others arrived at the hotel, there was already a tour group at the hotel. When they saw Link's family, they offered to take a group photo, and Link didn't refuse. A family and the tourists pose for a photo. There were also some children among the tourists, and Link's children played with them.

Tourists have been around the neighborhood for a while, and before they started their trip today, they sat down to talk about the trip and share the good photos they took.

Link also talks to the men, and there is no shelf of the world's richest man.

Isabel was playing with the children when she suddenly saw a baby elephant running from nowhere. She pointed at it and cheered, "Daddy, elephant!

Evan corrected, "Isabel, that's a baby elephant!"

Isabel blinked and insisted on her cognition: "It's a little elephant!"

After the baby elephant came out, the tourists also stopped talking and took out their cameras to take pictures of the baby elephant looking at the baby elephant.

Jim smiled and said to Link, "Mr. Hans, that's a baby elephant that's just over a month old. It used to have a difficult birth, and we helped it to be born, so it and its mother are very friendly to humans. As long as they don't hurt them, they won't hurt us. ”

Link smiled and asked, "I've heard that you often help this herd. ”

"Yes, we place some buckets near the hotel during the dry season to supply them with some reference water. But they will not be fully satisfied, lest they lose the ability to find water. In addition, during the food shortage season, we will also provide them with certain food, such as fruits. Of course, if they are injured or sick, we will try to help them. ”

"Is there poaching here?"

"Because the government is more concerned here, and we also provide some protection, so until now, there has not been a phenomenon of investment. The herd has grown from 23 to 28 from two years ago. The newborn baby elephants are alive. ”

Link watched as the tourists fed the baby elephant some peanuts or fruit, and took a picture with the baby elephant. The baby elephant is quite cooperative, occasionally curling up its nose and making faces at the camera. Jessica took the children and took pictures with the baby elephants as well.

"That's a welcome change. Isn't it?"

Suddenly, an elephant's cry came from the woods behind the baby elephant, and the baby elephant turned around and ran.

Jim laughed and said, "That's what its mom called it." Very smart kids. ”

After spending some time at the hotel, Jim took the Link family on a tour of the sanctuary to see lions, zebras, and giraffes.

Although it is seen from a distance, it is enough for children to feel the difference between animals in the wild and animals in the zoo.

In the past two years, Link has taken his children out to play every year, just to let the children know more about the world.

He took the children to get in touch with the cultural customs of different cities in different countries, as well as the rural atmosphere of towns and villages in other countries, and also to see the natural scenery.

Link and his family traveled to several countries in Africa, and more than half a month passed. After one last sight of the pyramids, they flew back to the United States from Cairo. The cargo hold of the Boeing 787 is filled with a lot of various souvenirs purchased from African countries.

The plane flew fairly smoothly at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters. A few children were playing around in the plane, and Link only smiled and watched, and as long as it wasn't a quarrel, he didn't plan to stop them.

It's just that he noticed that Alan seemed a little low as he sat on the side.

This child needs to be in a cheerful mood.

Link took a can of juice and sat down beside him, opened it and handed it to him, and said, "What are you thinking? Don't want to go home yet?"

Alan took the juice, shook his head and said, "Daddy, why do the Egyptians say that the United States is causing the turmoil in their country now?"

Link didn't expect his son to think of such a question. He thought for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"An Egyptian kid told me. ”

Link stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, smiled and said, "Alan, there is no love and no hate for no reason in this world. Egypt had a strong leader, and the Egyptians supported him. So even if there are opponents, they can be suppressed quickly. But when this leader is unable to provide for the basic needs of the vast majority of the population, those who originally supported him become dissatisfied and turn to those who oppose him. ”

"That person was overthrown?" Allen really went to school in the United States, and of course he learned about American justice. Moreover, liberal arts education in the United States is usually not valued by some countries that are not very important abroad. Egypt is clearly not an important country. "Is that also supported by the United States?"

"It doesn't matter if it's supported by the United States. The important thing is that it was originally just two brothers in the family fighting to grab the family property, but someone outside said to one of them, 'I'll help you, but there are conditions,' and this person really accepted all the conditions and got help from outsiders. As a result, he found that after he won the battle, a lot of his family property was destroyed, and the rest of the family property was taken away by the helpers. And the others were not convinced. If he wanted to continue to have that property, he had to beg the person who helped him to continue to help him. To make matters worse, he simply couldn't manage that property himself. ”

Alan thought for a moment and asked, "And then?"

"Then, that man and his supporters said that it was the fault of the person who helped him!"

"Then why didn't they think through before they changed the target of support? Now it's our America's fault?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "Alan, you remember. Most of us look at things from the perspective of 'right or wrong'. Only a saint would look at affairs from the point of view of right and wrong. ”

Alan didn't understand: "But Daddy, what's the difference between them?"

Link smiled and said, "Right or wrong, the basis for judging is whether things are good for you or not. Rather, it is based on whether it is beneficial to the overall development. After he finished speaking, he was still stunned when he saw his son. Say. "You don't have to think too much about these things. Anyway, don't think too much about what other people have to say, go play with Hannah. ”
