Despair not; there are many initiatives, individuals, and organizations working hard in many parts of Africa to realize better connectivity that offer hope.

For me Education is different from Culture.
IMHO, we need to integrate Culture into Education for the good of our humanity. But we can acquire Education from any part of the world.


My 2 cents,
Warm regards
