On Friday, lawyer Shadrack Wambui throws some punches at a training session in Nairobi, Kenya, where he offers boxing training and free legal advice.

Two days later, volunteers plant a tree in a littered stretch of the Nairobi River. Members of the Canaane Riverside Green Peace have planted some 500 trees in the past two years and spend each weekend cleaning the river.

Firefighters walk through what's left of the Jagger Library at the University in Cape Town in South Africa, whose vast and unique African Studies archive was destroyed in a blaze.

And in Cameroon on Saturday, Cardinal Christian Tumi is laid to rest. The outspoken 90-year-old former archbishop was lauded for his mediation efforts between the authorities and English-speaking separatists. Pope Francis said he "left an unforgettable mark on the Church and on the social and political life" of Cameroon.
