         <description><![CDATA[<div>We will create a virtual museum on the online multimedia platform, Padlet, to inform and educate people about the diverse culture of the Republic of Malawi Dziko. Due to the rapid development of the world's economy and efficient communication networks across countries, the world's culture is slowly changing into a monoculture situation. Countries with minority cultures suffer from globalization with majority cultures superseding and hybridizing their own indigenous cultures. Major economies exert undue cultural influence upon others, and this project aims to redress this balance; Our community's goal is to support the developing country and preserve their culture. We will also be investigating the influence of Latin culture on Malawians' traditions and examine ways to preserve Maliwian's culture.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
