Ebola has taken a big part of the nation, and not many people know about it. Thats why African Singers are spreading awareness throu the music they make so people can know and try to stay away from ebola.

He was sentence to prison for life because he lead a 3 day strike. When a new man became president, Mandela was released and given a nobel peace prize.

Radhika Iyengar is part of a project that is attempting to bring literacy to Africa, like Ghana, Nigeria, India, and Malawi. In most classrooms a teacher stands in front of the classroom while the students repeat after the teacher the whole time. Through a siries of tests he noticed a trend that most children can't read a simple text. In Mwandama Millennium Village of Malawi Radhika Iyengar started another learning program for children's educations. Most of the local children attended a government school, inside the classroom each student had a page with a letter in various sizes and a word with the letter inside it. The teacher had a copy of the page and would point to the letter and say the sound it made without doing the american pronunciation style of the letter's name, where something like "m" would become "EM". then the teacher would walk around and correct the student's pronunciation. This is what the Millennium project is trying to accomplish, learning based on science.

Many scientists think that Africa is the birthplace of man kind mainly because of the human looking fossils found in parts of Africa. After that it is belived that humans became very agressive hunters. Like we all thouhgt they lived in caves and used fire to make wepons and stay warm. In 3,200 B.C. the Egyptian culture emerged near the Nile River. Then, in 5000 B.C. farming became common in North Africa. At this time, the Sahara Desert was fertile. Slave trade was then started in the 16th cetury. This happend because Europeans sold African Americans to the U.S. to gain a profit. Sadly, in some parts of Africa slave-like practices are still used.

The African history is very cultural and religious. The early men came to Africa about 1.75 years ago and became very aggressive hunters. They lived in caves and used fire to stay warm. In 5000 BC, farming was common in the northern parts of Africa from the stone tools made by the primitive men. The Sahara Desert was a fertile area during the farming in 5000 BC as well. In 3200 BC, the Egyptian culture of the Nile River began. Tools and weapons were made with bronze and the Egyptians started to build the great pyramids. There is much more to African history, and the history is still being made.

Most of Botswana is covered by grasslands called savannas. The most common tree in Botswana is the baobab tree and some baobabs are 2,000 years old. Elephants in Chobe,Botswana are the largest elephants living in the world. About 17 percent of Botswana has been set aside for game preserves and national parks. Wildebeests, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, and cheetahs are all natural sites in Botswana, But they’re population continues to decrease due to factors including hunting and farmers protecting their livestock.

This article is about a woman named Jennifer who lives in Kenya. She grows little baby-tree saplings to sell to her neighbors, who plant the trees to help restore hilltops. She also sells clean water from her pipes. She uses the funds to pay for her own water bills, and to raise her 10 children. With her new income, Jennifer managed to buy a cow, a cell phone, new furniture, and four sewing machine! Water pipes help the community by giving people access to fresh water. In just five years (2005-2010), the amount of fresh drinking water available went from 7% to 94%! There is also a lower amount of malnutrition because more clean water allows more crops to be grown, therefore, more food to eat.

This article surprised me a lot. In the southern half of the desert it is very hot and dry, but in the northern half it can get really cold. The article said that there isn't a lot of rain but it also said that many people drown because of extreme flooding in the area. I also thought it was weird that only one quarter of the desert is made up of sand dunes. The reset is made up of mountains, lakes, and other landforms.

Even though in the majority of the world the fear of Ebola has minimized, it is still taking over most of West Africa. As of December 3, it had infected 15,000, of which had taken 6,202 lives. This was mostly because the locals were not aware of the precautions they were to take. To lower the numbers, the best-known African musicians came together to perform and record the song "Africa Stop Ebola". This song is about what the people can do to protect and take care of themselves. Another strong message in the song is for everyone to trust the doctors, that they know they are only trying to help.

I think that raising ebola awareness is a very good thing because it makes people aware of what is going on in the world. I really like that they are singing about the awareness because it makes it more interesting and people probably find more interest in listening to what people have to say if its in a song.

I think it is very good and important that people are trying to save people from getting Ebola through song which I learned in the article. Many Africans listen and play songs so they will most likely listen to the ones that the Africans made about Ebola. They are encouraging people to be aware of what they do daily so that they can save more people which is amazing. The Africans learned that many people are getting Ebola by not taking simple precautions which they mention in the song.
