This is the Happy Pod from the BBC World Service.

I'm Chris Barrow and in this edition uploaded on Saturday the 6th of July,

help farming communities like the one she grew up in. When we see reduced crop losses, when we see improved livelihoods,

lives changed, young girls like myself,

being able to access education.

I don't think there's something that can be more encouraging than that.

I'm pleased to take you through the exhibition with this audio guide. We can explore the evolution

of French fashion together.

Why Chinese Stars and K-pop bands are guiding tourists around European museums.

Also in the podcast, a study finds that chimps keep learning new skills throughout their lives a habit previously thought to be unique to humans and the school exam with a difference.

You have to do a few tricks and then just knowledge about the sport as well.

You might have a big dream that seems almost impossible to achieve, but you hope that one

resort in Corsica trying to earn enough money for her tuition.
