Original Book on African Storybook: Ama and the Golden River (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at the moment Ama sees the changed river and invite the reader to notice what is different in the illustrations. Afterwards, discuss what “galamsey” means in the story.
- Themes
- Protecting the river: Gold-digging damages the river and land; Ama and others raise the issue, the site is shut down, and the river later begins to clear. The story presents the mining activity as harmful and supports collective steps to stop it and restore the surroundings.
- Worth knowing
- The story shows Ama and her friends bringing the problem to the Elders, followed by a response involving chiefs, forest guards and community members.
