The main reason for this elevated occasion is that, in the Congo, families habitually tend to be big - six children per woman on average – whereas the worldwide average is less than half that. This accentuates the traditional roles of parents, which is to look after and provide for the family as numerous as it may be. Culturally, parents are not only the individual that gave you birth and brought you up to face this challenging world. They are all those who placed the building blocks of your life. Thus, this is the unique day consecrated to relax and think of parents with beautiful gifts that make them realize that they are not taken for granted but, in the contrary, are loved and cared for.
