Turkana, Luo, Wa-taveita, Chagga Pygmies Aborigines Nudity normal for part of the year or one gender commonly nude. Cultures nude when appropriate Cultures in which nudity is or was normal depending on the circumstances. Nilotic (eg Maasai, Samburu) Ancient Egypt Cultures in which nudity sometimes occurred. Ancient Romans Modern Europe This article was written in response to an expert who on BBC TV declared that he was unaware of any fully nude cultures and that hence there must be something culturally dangerous about naturism. Correspondence with him has since determined that he was speaking outside his area of expertise! There have been numerous nude cultures and a surprising number have survived into modern times despite the best efforts of so called civilised man to distort or destroy them. This is not a thorough survey, it has been particularly difficult to find sources for Asia, but otherwise it should give a reasonable overall picture.

Extractions: Summary of Progress The GRENEWECA network was established in 1998. It is therefore in very preliminary stages of project implementation. A number of activities have however been undertaken, some of which are already showing positive outcomes. Following are some of the key achievements: National programme development The Network has supported national workshops in plant genetic resources in The Gambia, Chad and Mauritania in February, March and September 2000. IPGRI and GRENEWECA have contributed to these workshops by providing the organisers with documentation on minimum elements for a functional national programme and information on issues related to the implementation of the Global Plan of Action on genetic resources for food and agriculture. - National Committee meetings were held in Benin, Senegal and Togo. Activities carried out by various partners were presented and discussed, and strategies for coordination in activities developed. - To strengthen the germplasm conservation capacities and communication facilities, the national PGR programmes of Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea Conakry, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Togo were provided with conservation facilities and/or computers with accessories.

VMFA: Office Of Statewide Partnerships By blending actual film of people viewing Roy Lichtensteins works with comments by the extraordinary achievements of africas indigenous civilizations. http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/osp/film_videoL.html
Extractions: Sixty-four-year-old Baybie Hoover and her closest friend, Ginger Brown, both born blind, pitched their way from Wichita, Kansas, to New York City by singing religious music on the street with tin cups in hand. The film is a loving portrait of Baybies warm, wise, ever-enduring spirit. Mistreated by her stepmother, made pregnant by her uncle, forcibly separated from her child, and sterilized by the state, Baybie has faced trials that would have broken the spirits of other less-determined characters. As an intimate portrait of a woman who has refused to be a victim of life, this film celebrates the human spirit without artificial sentiment. Suggested Classroom Activity: Have students write a portrait of someone in their community whom they have previously overlooked; discuss together how taking a close look at someone can change ones perspective.

Extractions: Augustine Ankomah, Ph.D. A. Demographics Slightly under two thirds of 17.7 million Ghanaians lived in rural areas of the country. Ghana has a young population with 45 percent under age 15, 52 percent between ages 15 and 64, and 3 percent 65 and older. The 1995 birthrate was 44 per 1,000 population, and the death rate 12 per 1,000, giving an annual population growth rate of 3.0 percent. The average life expectancy for newborns in 1995 was 54 years for males and 58 for females. Infant mortality is 82 per 1,000 live births. Ghana has one physician per 22,452 persons. The per capita gross domestic product in 1995 was $1,500. B. A Brief Historical Perspective Ghana was named for an African empire that existed along the Niger River between 400 and 1240 of the Common Era. The country was ruled by Britain for 113 years as the Gold Coast. In 1956, the United Nations approved the merger of the Gold Coast with the British Togoland trust territory. In 1957, it emerged as the first country in black Africa to achieve independence from a European power. Since that time, Ghana has witnessed a seesaw of political power shared between military and elected governments. In the years immediately following independence, schools, hospitals, and roads were built, along with hydroelectric power plants and aluminum plants by President Nkrumah, but the economic situation deteriorated between the 1970s and late 1980s. J.J. Rawlings, a flight lieutenant who took over the administration of the country through a military coup in 1979 and again in 1981, won the national election and was sworn in as president in 1993.

"Ethiopia has become to the Arab world what Thailand is to European tourists. Prostitution in Ethiopia has increased incredibily in recent years. In one section of Addis Ababa, some 130,000 girls support themselves by selling their bodies. Most of them are under eighteen, and many even under fourteen. In this probing documentary we meet the victims, girls that have been orphaned, or thrown out by their families, or are hoping to find a better life. They are compelled to turn to prostitution to survive. The young ones don't even earn enough money to buy food. The older ones earn more but yearn to work the luxury hotels as high class prostitutes. Virtually all the girls are HIV positive. Condoms are seldom used, even though they are distributed free in many places. Customers, believing the youngest girls are HIV-free, seek them out, which in turn keeps lowering the age of girls becoming HIV infected.". 1 videocassette (40 min.) : 1996
