Lieu culturel à visiter en venant à Mayotte. Il relate la récolte culturelle du sel dans la commune de Bandrélé. Ces "mamas shingos " sont vraiment courageuses et travailleuses car cela en demande.

Cultural place to visit when coming to Mayotte. It recounts the cultural harvest of salt in the commune of Bandrélé. These "mamas shingos" are really brave and hard-working because it requires it.

C un lieu très intéressant à visité. Non seulement tu peux voir les mamans shingo en action, mais tu as la possibilité d'y participer toi aussi. C un travail difficile et qui demande bcp de patience mais c aussi très instructif. J'encourage tout le monde à y passer que ça soit pour une visite ou un achat. D'ailleurs je trouve les prix très raisonnable d'après le travail effectué par ces mamans là.

C a very interesting place to visit. Not only can you see shingo moms in action, but you have the opportunity to participate too. C a difficult job and that requires bcp patience but c also very informative. I encourage everyone to come by whether it's for a visit or a purchase. Besides I find the prices very reasonable according to the work done by these moms there.
