An old Nigerian proverb states, "It takes a whole village to raise a child." This Igbo and Yoruba (Nigeria) proverb exists in different forms in many African languages. The basic meaning is that a child's upbringing is a communal effort. The responsibility for raising a child is shared with the larger family (sometimes called the extended family). Everyone in the family participates especially the older children, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and even cousins. It is not unusual for African children to stay for long periods with their grandparents or aunts or uncles. Even the wider community gets involved such as neighbors and friends. Children are considered a blessing from God for the whole community. This communal responsibility in raising children is also seen in the Sukuma (Tanzania) proverb "One knee does not bring up a child" and in the Swahili (East and Central Africa) proverb "One hand does not nurse a child."
As such, it's going to take a Village to find this geocache. This is a teamwork geocache, and you're going to need at least six (6) geocachers with the right technology (smartphones and/or smart devices) with Internet access. While you need six at a minimum, more would be better and possibly require less patience on your part. .
