Human Heritage: Amina

In the small village of Gharadia, nestled in the heart of the Algerian Sahara, a young girl named Amina was preparing for a very special day. It was the anniversary of Algeria's Yanayer day, a national holiday celebrated throughout the country. But for Amina, this day held an even deeper significance. It was a chance for her to celebrate her heritage and the traditions of her people.
