Balancing
Act
Balancing Act is facilitating the development of content for the internet
and other new media technologies in Africa that will have an impact on people’s
lives and that they will want to use, in the three fields of economic, social
and cultural development. Balancing Act is also interested in the development
of appropriate linkages between new and old media (e.g. community radio, satellite,
the internet and multimedia) that will deliver to Africa’s less well-connected
rural areas. |

de Dardel
Here's what Francois wrote about
the home reading programme: "If you know anybody who cannot read, I warmly
recommend a method developed in South Africa: Teach any child or adult to read.
You will find their address and order form on their site. I purchased the method
to teach a young Indian who had not had the chance to go to school." |
