The Comoros, an African island nation that is not known to the outside world, is known for donating 100 euros to our country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the donation of 100 euros is not much, it represents a piece of the heart of this small African country and deserves our gratitude. It's better than countries and regions that have announced that they will stop exporting medical supplies such as masks at a time when we are in a difficult time.
Geographical location of the Comoros
The Comoros, an island nation in the western Indian Ocean at the northern end of the Mozambique Strait on the eastern side of Africa, consists of four islands, Greater Comoros, Anjouan, Moeli and Mayotte, with an area of 2,336 square kilometers.
The basic situation of the Comoros
The Comoros covers an area of 2,336 square kilometers, has a population of 800,000 people, and its GDP in 2018 was 1.203 billion US dollars, and its per capita GDP was only 1503 US dollars. The Comoros is one of the Arab countries and believes in Islam.
Judging from the size of the country of the Comoros, such a small county town is as small as ours, and because it is too small, it is not well known internationally.
The Comoros was a French colony that formally gained independence only in 1975. The economy is mainly based on agriculture, and the production of spices such as vanilla, cloves, and eagle claw orchids is at the forefront of the world, and it is known as "spice island".
What does 100 euros mean for the Comoros
Judging by the economic indicators of the Comoros, the Comoros is still among the poorest countries in the world. Their own economic conditions are not good, and they have to donate 100 euros to us, although this 100 euros is not much, but this also represents their intentions.
100 euros is equivalent to 758 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary for Comorians. The Comorians' donation this time is "thousands of miles to send goose feathers, gifts are light and affectionate", we can not abandon the lack of donations, after all, donating more and donating less represents the hearts of people.
The donation from the Comoros has taught us that in the face of disaster, nations need to stand united and face it together in order to achieve ultimate victory.
