Welcome to what we had as precious but dumped as idiotic due to capitalism(neo-colonialism) based on superficial materilism...and as a result AfricaPoverty continues to grow in sub-Saharan Africa
In thisweb site our goal is to provide a home for those who wish to speak on various issues concerning Africa and Africans without fear. It is also our hope that others will challenge these views in a professional manner, hence creating healthy dialog that we could all learn from . This is to promote the talents of our youth and cultures in the forms of Music, Art, Fashion, and Cuisine. It is too often that a good thing passes us by because we can not be in two places at the same time. Bridging the Gap between those of us on the Continent and those Displaced throughout the world in whatever manner is our primary goal. It is our expectation that this small space be used for the good of all mankind.
"As we sit and face our computer screens we isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. We look at the world as a conceptual event, everything outside our everyday routines becomes a burl, and we often forget what kind of world we live in. It is easy to forget pain and suffering, it is easy to dismiss the hardships of some, and sometimes to even think that the world is so harsh to me or you. When in reality we are the most privilege people on this earth so to speak. We fear not war, we fear not waking up in an empty city losing each and everything but the clothes on our backs. The worst we fear is waking up and the sun being to hot, the winter being to cold. Of which we try to determine by watching CNN or whatever other lies they want to feed to us.
I don't wish to make you feel guilty, nor do I want to offend you, I merely want to remind you of another side of us that we seem to forget.
I apologize ahead of time for the nature of the presentation, but sometime we need to see life as we create it for other people."
Talking about health in africa!!
Each year, such preventable diseases as malaria, measles, diarrhea, and respiratory infections claim the lives of more than 11 million African pre-school age children. For every 100,000 Africans there is an average of 16 medical doctors and access to health care is far from adequate. For some it is non-existent. Women are particularly at risk. With the large number of reproductive health complications, the maternal mortality is more than 75 times higher (infant mortality rates are nearly seven times higher) in Africa than in the industrialized world.
Also, mortality rates from disease are among the highest in the world. Throughout Africa, epidemics are re-emerging. It is estimated that each year two million Africans die from HIV/AIDS, the number one killer. Malaria is the second most deadly killer claiming the lives of half as many as HIV/AIDS. The survival of orphaned children left behind is largely dependent on extended families who themselves have insufficient resources to care for their own children. It is estimated that the number of orphans will increase from 10 million today to 40 million in the year 2008.

The lost treasure...?!
Quality works of ancient African art are becoming harder and harder to find. The value of this art has gone up accordingly; and much of the traditional artwork has left the continent for private collections overseas. People living in poverty will often give up family heirlooms; some passed down through generations; in order to survive.New African art is not by any means inferior however; just different. Just as modern Western art has taken prominence over older forms, so too, modern African art is replacing the traditional; and bringing with it its own new meaning and aesthetic significance. African culture is shown through art in paintings and sculpture, as well as in jewelry and other items of everyday life.
In future articles, we will be showing how African culture continues to be passed on from generation to generation through the different things the people create. I would love any input or assistance anyone else can provide to contribute
