The Future of AngolaAs with all the countries of

the world, their futures lie with the children. The future isn’t very good because the children of their country are starving and dying from disease, but with vaccinations and foreign food supplies less and less children are dying. The educational system isn’t very good either but it is better than before. Overall, Angola’s future is still uncertain.
