about us

This is an experimental media site. It is intended to be a resource for people who are interested in events and resources related to Africa. News will appear on the main posts; this may look a bit like Google News but will only have articles that pertain to Africa. The template will lead to links to different resources: ultimately, about countries, languages, music, environmental preservation, etc.

Interested in helping? A site is being set up primarily for volunteers. It will be run by a group of volunteers. If it earns revenue, those volunteers will share in deciding how to use it. If t-shirts are made to promote the site, those volunteers will be the first to receive them. For more information, go here; we'd welcome your participation.
