At a small school in the commune of Kloukname, in southwestern Benin, near the border with Togo, the daily routine is marked by a unique celebration: the teaching of the Adja language, of the Aja people.
The school is the Saint Salomon learning center, established in 2014. The school is an exception in a country where French, a colonial legacy, is the official language and a prerequisite for universities and jobs, but is spoken by only 35% of the population.

#PeoplesHistory | Today marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana and devastated the southeastern United States.
