There are many foundations that would donate money to your project. The Conserve Africa Foundation is one that might be worth checking into: www.conserveafrica.org.uk. \n\nAlmost every foreign country has project funding for overseas development. Try visiting the US embassy and othr foreign embassies in your country. They will have detailed information about the type of projects they will fund.\n\nYou will need a detailed project proposal including a budget.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.

Take a look at this website:\n\nhttp://www.419eater.com/\n\nIt's a group of people who bait the Nigerian scammers (also known as the 419 scam). The stories are hilarious and they also provide suggestions on how to do it yourself.

"The Igbos are found mostly in the Southeastern and South-central Nigeria called Igboland or Igbo society (Alaigbo or Anaigbo). By the late 20th century the population of the Igbos are about 27 million.1 The majority of the Igbos are Christians, but some of them practice the indigenous traditional religion, whose major tenets are shared by all Igbo-speaking people of Nigeria (Uchendu 1965). The traditional religion is passed on to succeeding generations, but the advent of Christianity in Igboland around "1885" had some influence on the traditional beliefs (Talbot 1969). The indigenous traditionalists believe in the earth goddess, deities and ancestral spirits and in a Creator-God, Chukwu, Obasi, Chi, or Chineke, the "Supreme God" (Achebe 1959). The Igbo traditional beliefs have some positive influence on the culture and social lives of the people. For instance, the forefathers of the Igbos were known for their righteousness, honesty and hard work. And they were opinion leaders, impartial judges and people of impeccable character. \n\nHowever, a relic of the indigenous religious practice of the Igbos is the dehumanizing Osu caste system, which has divided and alienated the Igbos. \n\nTherefore, this paper discusses the Osu caste system, an indigenous religious belief system, practiced within the Igbo nation, with the purpose of bringing the discriminatory, dehumanizing and obnoxious Osu caste system to the attention of the international community. This is because whenever issues of discriminatory practices around the world are tabled for discussion in the international community the repugnant and discriminatory Osu caste system is never mentioned. \n\nDefinitions of Terms\n\nIt is essential to provide some definitions and clarifications of terms associated with the Osu caste system. It would be very difficult, if not impossible to explain and analyze the terms related to the issue to individuals who are not familiar with the system without an explanation of the many labels describing the Osu. Each ethnic nationality in Nigeria has its own reasons for discriminating against their own people; and some of the reasons are apparently religious. \n\nThe Igbos, which are the center of this discourse, discriminate against each other by reason of the Osu caste status. The Igbo people refer to the Osu in varied names; it is referred to as Adu-Ebo in Nzam in Onitsha. In the Nsukka area it is referred to as Oruma; it is called Nwani or Ohualusi at Augwu area.2 These names, Osu, Ume, Ohu, Oru, Ohu Ume, Omoni (Okpu-Aja), have the same connotation in Igboland. The people referred to by the names are regarded as sub-human being, the unclean class, or slaves.\n\nIn this paper the author shall use the term, Osu, to describe all the lower caste groups in Igboland. It should noted that in their hierarchy of social status, the Ume (especially, in this author’s community) is the Osu class the Diala abhors to interact or socialize with the most. \n\nThe Osu, by definition, is a people sacrificed to the gods in Igbo community. And they assist the high priest of the traditional religion to serve the deities or the gods in their shrine. It is the belief of many Igbo traditionalists that the deities, which were (and are still) perceived in some quarters as being very powerful, would wreck havoc in the society, if they are not appeased. In some special circumstances, those who hold the traditional beliefs of the Igbos could transform a Diala who committed certain atrocities against the land, into an Osu. This process involved intricate rituals (offering of libations and sacrificing animals to the earth goddess). Some of the ancestors of the present-day Osu people inherited their dehumanizing social status this way. That method is now a thing of the old; Western influence has affected this practice. Presently, one could acquire the Osu status through inheritance and marriage. \n\nBecause of many oral interpretations of the constr

The themes of the book are traditional verses change; savagery and courage...any of these ideas can fit into which ever theme you are focusing on.\n\nPretend that you are a newspaper reporter looking for stories in colonial Africa, and you have arrived in Umuofia just after Okonkwo’s burial.  You have already interviewed all the major characters connected with the events leading up to Okonkwo’s death.  Write a profile of Okonkwo for your newspaper, describing his personality, his life and his tragic end.  Include quotations from at least three people you interviewed, such as Ekwefi, Ezinma, Nwoye and Obierika, showing their individual views on Okonkwo.  Thus, tailor the interviews around the theme.  You could have a full news team~ anchor, co-anchor, field reporters, etc.\n\nAchebe originally planned for Things Fall Apart as the first part of a longer novel, which would have shown Nwoye’s adult life as Isaac Okonkwo, and the life of Nwoye’s son Obi—Okonkwo’s grandson.  Pretend you are a novelist, write what you would  have happen to Isaac and Obi Okonkwo during the course of the Twentieth century, considering the cultural changes that might occur in Nigeria.  Write a chapter in which we learn about the relationship between Isaac and Obi ~ this can show the change (theme).\n\nPretend you are the spirit of Okonkwo, returned from the grave to speak to Mr. Hammerstrom’s class about the novel Chinua Achebe wrote about you.  What do you think of the novel?  Do you think Achebe portrayed you fairly?  Why?  Why not?  In hindsight, would you have changed anything about your past life?  You can present your thought, reflections and conclusions to the class in the “spirit of Okonkwo,” remaining in Okonkwo’s character.  Again, focus on the traditional verses change.\n\nYou could each take up a character in the novel, such as Okonkwo, Obierika, Unoka, Ekwefi, Ezinma, Nwoye, or Ikemefuna, and rewrite a scene from his or her voice and position. The confrontations between the white men and the Igbo people are good incidents to use for the rewrite for your theme.  You guys could knock a very quick script and act the confrontation out for the class~use multiple roles, have a narrator explain why you chose a certain character, what role the character plays in the novel, etc. during an introduction.\n\nResearch website:\n\nhttp://projects.edtech.sandi.net/kearny/tribal/resources.html

You should try to find African art books in your library. Most address the topic. If you find "Art and Craft in Africa" by Laure Meyer you will find a general overview of textiles and clothing. From the Ashanti try "African Majesty" by Peter Adler and Nicholas Barnard. Also "Weaving in Africa" by Karl-Ferdinand Schaedler.

Ahh...the Nigerian scam. Actually, sometimes these people are prosecuted. I wouldn't make a HUGE deal out of it, since it would be a waste of your time. But you could forward it to authorities. \n\nThen delete it.

Nope. It's a scam. The Nigerians want money and will anything to get it. I once heard that in Nigeria, you have to bribe with money, to get hired for a job, or to do anything else.
