Ghana is famous for its typical African markets with the unique Kente cloth textiles. Stools have a significant role in Ghana’s society. Ghana is an unexpected Paradise with its Volta River Estuary - most beautiful and so much potential. Lake Volta is the world's largest artificial lake. Much of the attraction of Ghana is based upon its legacy as the center of the gold, ivory, and slave trade during the 17th and 18th centuries, when the mighty Ashanti empire held sway here. However, Ghana also possesses one of the best game reserves in West Africa, a multitude of good beaches, and plenty of hospitality.

ECHOES OF THE ANCESTORS AREAS OF FOCUS Echoes of the Ancestors has four main areas of focus: 1) Water Project Educational Economic Development ; and, 4) Personal Goods Contributions These page are a paraphrase of the group's successful application for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status with the IRS. 1. WATER PROJECT ACTIVITIES The efforts and plans of Echoes of the Ancestors water project together with the efforts of villagers in the Ioba Provence of Burkina Faso near the small town of Dano, has resulted in the development of three dam/reservoirs. These villagers are all members of an indigenous tribe of people known as the Dagara. These reservoirs consist of simple structures built with concrete and dirt against the flow of water. Echoes of the Ancestors plans on continuing to assist the Dagara in these activities as follows: (1) improve and maintain the three existing reservoirs; (2) construct water wells in the area; (3) construct additional reservoirs and wells in the Ioba Provence; (4) develop agricultural irrigation; (5) test and analyze the water and soils in the area; and, (6) develop a program of agricultural education utilizing the expertise of agricultural and water experts from the United Sates. Fund raising activities to support these future projects are also planned. All of these activities, and other activities of the group, are and will be under the supervision of Dr. Malidoma Somé, the President of

14. ARTS & CULTURE - History Of South African Film Small West African countries like Ivory Coast, burkino faso and Senegal haveproduced (relative to the rest of Africa) a large number of pathbreaking films http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/artsmediaculture/pages/film-tv/features.htm

HISTORY OF SOUTH AFRICA N FILM - Where have all the features gone? FEATURES oral history and indigenous modes of communication. Since the end of the colonial era, films have been produced which respond creatively to the ever shifting conditions and dilemmas the continent faces. This despite the fact that most African countries are poor (which means less money available to finance films) and they lack the necessary infrastructure (transport, film equipment and facilities). sell This has been both a strength and a weakness. You might not have seen them on TV or in a cinema, but yes, South Africa does make its own feature films, telling stories about South Africans and reflecting the varied lives we lead here. Unfortunately, these films are few and far Why do so few films - when compared not just with Hollywood (which dominates the film industry worldwide), but when compared also with other countries like Australia, Canada, Egypt and India - come out of South Africa? Talking Point: What are the challenges that face the South African film industry?

16. The Funga The termites culture the fungus in much the same way as the attine ants culture Three speceis were seen on the visit to burkino faso, T. (cf) medius, http://www.mycokey.com/AU/WestAfrica/Termitomyces.htm

The genus Termitomyces Termitomyces is a paleotropical genus of agarics intriguing both to mycologists and entomologists. As the name might suggest the species are considered obligate symbionts of termites belonging to the subfamily Macrotermitinae. The termites culture the fungus - in much the same way as the attine ants culture members of the Agaricaceae. The Termitomyces mycelium grows on comb-like structures made from faecal pellets (see photo below). These pellets are made of digested plant material passed quickly through the termite gut. After some weeks the plant material is degraded so much by the fungus, that it is palatable to the termites. Termitomyces titanicus (the largest mushroom in the world according to Guinness Book of Records) has a cap diameter of up to 1 meter, whereas Termitomyces microcarpus rarely exceeds 2 cm. Some species are annulate, some not. Some have large velar remains on the cap, others are smooth and viscid. Although the genus covers a wide macromorphological range, the species are not very distinct microscopically. Delimitation and systematic placement The unifying characters of the Termitomyces species are the pinkish spores, the termite association and the subterranean elongation of the stipe called a pseudorhiza, through which the fruitbodies of most species are connected to the comb in the termite nest. Furthermore most of the species have a pronounced umbo or papilla called a perforatorium, which is thought to play a role during the penetration of the soil.

San Jose Mercury News , Ensemble gives voice to traditional Malian culture >> A Starbucks in Emeryville might seem like an odd place to feel the hot, dry wind of the Sahara, but watching a video of Tuareg women swaying while seated in a semi-circle, pounding out a loping dance rhythm with mortar and pestle tinde percussion while a veiled and turbaned man executes a series of agile break-dance like moves from a squatting position, the desert breeze was almost palpable. The video came courtesy of Mali-born Issa Mohamed, director of the Timbuktu Heritage Institute, who filmed the celebration on a recent trip to his hometown. It's the kind of celebration that will be taking place on stages around the Bay Area next week when the group Ensemble Tartit arrives as part of a U.S. tour meant to raise awareness of Tuareg culture. Desert lifestyle Hailing from the same region in northern Mali as Mohamed, the five women and four men who make up the ensemble perform dances, chants and songs embodying a desert lifestyle that has survived for thousands of years in the unforgiving Sahara.

18. Burkino Story He was to study in Ouagadougou, Burkinafaso before his ultimate destination in of teaching this new thing to people of another culture and language. http://www.rtpnet.org/nridge/faso.htm

On July 14th, our team of ten students and adults from North Ridge Alliance Church took the largest of many steps on our journey to Burkina-Faso in West Africa. Approximately six months earlier, the call became clear that God had plans for the ministry in Burkina-Faso, and He had plans for us to be involved. Our journey began there, and though no one stepped onto a plane until a rainy morning in mid-July, it was clear the mission had already begun. In September of 1998, I was privileged to spend some time with my good friend and colleague, Peter Brokopp, just hours before he was to finally depart for West Africa on his assignment for language study. He was to study in Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso before his ultimate destination in Congo-Brazzaville. In those few moments, mention was made of our desire at North Ridge to take some students overseas for a summer missions trip. It was a frustrating issue up to that point, however, because we were confident the experience needed to be more than the construction of a building or execution of a program. We had several potential mission candidates willing to go, and we desired a genuine, authentic-as-possible introduction to the real work of the mission field. Pete said that he would love to bring a team out someday, especially once he was finished with his language studies in Ouagadougou. Four months went by with time ticking away and a great deal of prayer and concern. It was now December and we really didn't know what to do about this mission trip. By now we should have already presented the trip to our church family and begun monthly fundraisers at least, I thought. After all kinds of research, quite a few dead ends, and many anxious questions of students, little seemed to pan out. But there was always the possibility of Burkina-Faso. It was so far away, though, and we were sure it would be way too much money.

Practice, power and meaning: frameworks for studying organisational culture in multi-agency rural development projects Organisational cultures influence the outcomes of project outcomes Lewis, D.; Bebbington, A.; Batterbury, S.; Shah, A.; Olson, E.; Siddiqi, M.; Duvall, S. / Centre for Civil Society, (CCS) LSE This paper examines how context, practice and power influence development projects, in particular projects that aim to ‘empower’ organisations of the poor. It argues that where development projects involve multiple organisations (such as donors, government agencies, NGOs and grassroots groups) understanding cultures both within and between organisational actors helps to explain important aspects of project performance. Findings are based on projects in Bangladesh, Peru and Burkino Faso. The paper argues that organisational culture is continually being produced within projects, and that while sometimes this tends towards integration, often it tends towards fragmentation. This fragmentation reflects the range of different cultures within different development organisations, and is an important reason of why some projects fail and why ideas stated in project documents are often not realised.

20. COMMUNITY RADIO In burkino faso, the project of creating six local radio stations was part ofthe vision It is also relevant to local practices, traditions and culture. http://www.cityradio.nu/waves.htm

COMMUNITY RADIO: A "MOST APPEALING TOOL" FOR THE COMMONMAN From Frederick Noronha fred@bytesforall.org For over five decades, radio has been the "most appealing tool" for participatory communication and development. It "has always been the ideal medium for change", says a new book on how radio, the Internet and other technologies are helping the poor get a better grip over their lives. Titled 'Making Waves' this 352-page report focuses on how radio stations across the globe are making a difference, often to those who lack other means of communication. It also looks at how other tools are being used for this purpose including computers, the Internet, multimedia, threatre and video. But the largest number of case-studies deal with radio. Twenty experiences of unusual radio stations from across the globe are studied, while in two cases radio has been linked with the Internet, to widen its reach. Cases studied include the Radio Sutatenza in Colombia, set up in 1947, by a Catholic priest, to broadcast Christian doctrine to poor farmers and also teach skills that would help community development. Bolivia's network of miners' radio stations is called "one of the most outstanding examples of popular and participatory comunication in the world". At its peak, in the 1970s, the miners' radio network comprised as many as 26 independent stations.
