Thanks for joining the Money Minds meetup group. If you would like to be the first to know whenever a new event is announced, please join our whatsapp group using the link; [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg) Hi, my name is Karan. I am the co-founder of the Money Minds community. When I started investing, I didn't have any help. I've learned how to navigate markets by making a lot of mistakes and I still have a lot to learn. I believe that investing cannot be taught but it can be learned. My intention behind these Open discussion sessions is to cultivate a space where people **ask questions, share practical knowledge** and hopefully **learn vicariously**. Inspired by Charlie Munger’s wisdom, \*"The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more" \*our event fosters a spirit of knowledge-sharing and mutual growth. Expect engaging discussions, fresh perspectives, and opportunities to forge meaningful connections with fellow Money Minds members.

**The Republic of Chad is located in the center of Africa** and is a landlocked country – without an access to the sea. On its territory located is Lake Chad - the second largest lake of the Black Land. Due to the large meridional extent of the country, there are many climatic zones here. From 2008, Chad has become an increasingly safer country. It is politically stable - in African way. It is ruled by President Idriss Déby, who has been in power continuously since 1990. An interesting fact about Chad is the democracy index, which for many years has characterized the country as the second most undemocratic country in the world - after North Korea! Bororo tribe also known as **Fulanie or Wodabe are obsessed with beauty** and build their hierarchy of values on its basis. Gerewol is the culmination - a lesson in love, a beauty pageant for men where women choose their partners. Gerewol is a celebration of delicacy - with young men who **smile showing (even grinning) bright teeth and flashing whites of their eyes**, **hoping to be chosen the most beautiful (Yake).** Gerewol is also a dance-staging of a fight with the use of large swords. Young participants start dancing with spinning swords. They blink, smile while dancing to test their seductive skills. And the women with surreptitious gestures of their hands indicate the chosen one. We will visit the village where the young Wodabé are getting ready for Gerevwol **by painting their faces and making braids.** Further on, we discover usage and importance of wax for the elderly and children lives. We will understand that in addition to being nomadic shepherds, the Wodabes are also farmers and lead a sedentary lifestyle for part of the year. However, in general, old people and children stay in the villages, while young people take care of the herds of cattle. On this trip y**ou will encounter the roots of African tradition, local life, animistic culture and traditional mud architecture,** that hasn’t changed much for 2000 years. You will be in a direct contact with the tribes man, and visit local colorful markets. **You will forget about watches and mobiles**, while passing dusty settlements, the flat landscape covered with shrubs, spotting caravans of locals with their belongings on camels. There are rarely any tourists on this forgotten path. This is surely how Omo Valley looked like several decades ago. **Day 1 // Arrival** Quick look at city highlights, overnight in hotel. **Day 2 // N'djamena - Dourbali (or Guelenden)** Departure to Dourbali locality about 150 km south of the capital, meeting with our guide Wodaabe, preparation of the bivouac dinner at the camp. **Day 3 // Gerewol** Arrival at the meeting point with the Wodaabe people. At the end of the monsoon rainy season in Chad, Pastor stage one of the most singular festivals of Sub-Saharan Africa. These dancing parties are known by the definition of Gerewol. But the term Gerewol is not properly correct. Ceremony is called YAKE! **The Yake is a male beauty contest in which a partner is chosen by the woman**, with the young males who smile to all teeth and eyes bulged, with the hope of being judged the most beautiful. Men of marriageable age are decorated with bright colors, feathers, fine hats and dresses with heavy ornaments It is a scene of great sweetness, to make a breach in the heart of a girl. The aspiring young Woodabe do not even hesitate to grind their teeth and abnormally bulge their eyes, evidently something much appreciated by girls. **DAY 4 // Return to** **N'djamena** **Day 5 // Departure** Souvenir shopping before departure home. **Level:** Easy, however it is a journey to the heart of Africa, area **with limited facilities.** **Activities:** Tribe festival encounter, sightseeing. **Cost:** **6200 AED** **until JAN 07th** + flight (approx. 5000 AED by Ethiopian Airways). **Accommodation & meals:** Hotels and camping. Meals included except restaurant meals during transfers (in Djamena). **Specifically excluded:** Visas, restaurant meals on transfers, entry fees if any, insurance. **Visas:** E-visa for all passports. [https://evisa.td/](https://evisa.td/) **Yellow Fever Certificate** is required for entry to Chad.

For January, we’re reading Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy. For fans of Flight Behavior and Station Eleven, a novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world's last birds--and her own final chance for redemption. Franny Stone has always been a wanderer. By following the ocean's tides and the birds that soar above, she can forget the losses that have haunted her life. But when the wild she loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world's last flock of Arctic terns and track their final migration. She convinces Ennis Malone, captain of the Saghani, to take her onboard, winning over his eccentric crew with promises that the birds will lead them to fish. As the Saghani fights its way south, Franny's dark history begins to unspool. Battered by night terrors, accumulating a pile of unsent letters, and obsessed with pursuing the terns at any cost, Franny is full of secrets. When her quest threatens the safety of the entire crew, Franny must ask herself what she is really running toward--and running from. Propelled by a narrator as fierce and fragile as the terns she is following, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is both an ode to our threatened world and a breathtaking page-turner about the lengths we will go for the people we love.

**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman** **This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.** **An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.** Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia. Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.
