The Gambia wants to know what will happen after America's leader makes a big change. President Trump told his country to stop giving money to help other countries for three months. He wants to see if this money helps America first.
America gives money to many places around the world. This money helps children stay healthy and makes sure people have clean water. The Gambia uses some of this money. Many people worry about what will happen when the money stops coming.
Some people feel extra worried because The Gambia needs money to set up a special court. This court would look at bad things that happened when Yahya Jammeh was president. A lawyer named Reed Brody said this court might have problems without America's help.

A special music school in Bulawayo makes beautiful wooden instruments called marimbas. These instruments look like xylophones and make sweet sounds when people play them. The school sends these marimbas to many places, such as America and South Africa.
Mr Olof Axellson runs this music school. He tells us that people almost forgot about marimbas until his school started making them in the 1960s. Long ago, people made marimbas from bamboo and large fruits called calabashes. These old marimbas broke easily and didn't sound very clear.
The school works hard to keep African music alive. They make better marimbas that sound clear and strong. These new marimbas can travel anywhere without breaking. The best part is that they still make the...
Zimbabwe wants to make big changes. These changes mean more than just becoming free from other countries that once ruled it. The country needs to change everything about how it works, from its farms to its schools.
