Welcome to Afrocyberspace There are many faces of the Internet/World Wide Web. It is impossible to cover all aspects of this new and vital communications medium. Therefore, we are offering one AFROCentric path to discovery of the Web (there are many, many other paths). This passageway is open to everyone regardless of social background. We firmly believe your voyage into AFROCyberspace will enrich and change your view of the world.
NOTE: To accomplish our task, we knowingly bent some existing copyright rules. We liberally borrowed text and images from the Internet. We ripped Web pages from their sites. We snatched candy from babies ;<)
Whenever possible, we linked back to the original source or gave credit where credit was due. We understand that creators should be compensated for their hard work; however, it is unreasonable and immoral to hinder the flow of information to others who don’t have it. We ALL deserve the right to sip from the universal pool of knowledge. The Internet is changing constantly; in efforts to keep information fresh, we offer the book and this companion web site. |

All For Africa
The mission of All For Africa, a 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization, is to help secure the long-term sustainability of important community level initiatives in health, education, clean water, micro-financing, community development and skills training on the continent of Africa. All for Africa’s founders have pioneered an internationally recognized approach to development in Africa. Through paradigm-shifting operations in Guinea, which are set to transform the economy of the entire nation, a developmental approach was honed to ensure long-term impact through local ownership and by building local capacity. This approach reflects the expert consensus that successful development initiatives in Africa must empower Africans with the tools they need to take control of their own destiny. |

Books For Africa. A simple name for a simple organization with a simple mission. We collect, sort, ship and distribute books to children in Africa. That's all we do. Our goal: to end the book famine in Africa. Books donated by publishers, schools, libraries, individuals and organizations are sorted and packed by volunteers who carefully choose books that are age and subject appropriate. We send good books, enough books for a whole class to use. They are shipped in containers paid for by contributions from people like you. It costs about 40 U.S. cents to send a book from the United States to Africa. Since 1988, Books For Africa has shipped more than 20 million books. They are on once-empty library shelves, in classrooms in rural schools, and in the hands of children who have never held a book before. Each book will be read over and over and over again. When the books arrive, they go to those who need them most: children who are hungry to read, hungry to learn, hungry to explore the world in ways that only books make possible.
