Since ancient times, adults have entertained children with folktales and stories that were passed down orally. As these oral traditions developed, written children's literature emerged, starting with Aesop's Fables in 400 AD. Over subsequent centuries, children's books evolved from instructional texts to include illustrated stories and books intended solely for pleasure reading in the 18th-19th centuries. Today, children's literature encompasses many genres and formats.
The document provides information on various aspects of life in Ancient Egypt. It describes the aristocracy, which consisted of local rulers and high officials whose wealth came from landholdings and some were relatives of the royal family. It discusses childhood, education, roles of women, infant mortality rates being high due to diseases and lack of modern medicine, and the semi-divine role of kings who were responsible for religious and military duties.
Sikeena Karmali was born in Kenya and raised in Canada. She became interested in history as a way to understand her mixed racial and cultural background. At university, she studied Middle Eastern and South Asian history, which led her to focus on the impact of colonialism. This inspired her to work in international development and human rights. Drawing on conversations with her family, she wrote a novel called A House by the Sea that blended European and non-European storytelling styles to depict the experiences of migrant communities. Karmali has worked for several international organizations and written extensively about history, politics and culture.
Smith Students Study Entrepreneurship in Africa _ Robert HTamerat Mulugeta
Twenty students from the University of Maryland's business school traveled to South Africa over winter break to study social entrepreneurship through a program run by the University of Cape Town. The program consisted of lectures, site visits, tourism activities, and developing a social innovation project in small groups. Students visited townships, businesses, memorial sites and learned about the country's history and efforts toward social change. They gained insights into challenges and opportunities for social entrepreneurship in South Africa. The trip director said the students worked hard and learned how to be effective social innovators.

Education for a New Reality in the African World by Dr. John Henrik ClarkeRBG Communiversity
This document summarizes an essay by Dr. John Henrik Clarke titled "Education for a New Reality in the African World". The essay calls for an educational approach for Africans that restores African culture and empowers Africans to manage their own resources, as was taken from them by slavery and colonialism. It notes that current African leaders were educated by European models that do not fit African societies. It argues Africans must educate themselves using African-centered methodologies to achieve true independence, citing Japan's ability to recover from Western domination by retaining their culture and strategic independence.

The purpose is to address a pressing issue that has been ignored by many scholars and leaders for political reasons, in order to properly understand the intergenerational development of the Afrikan worldview.

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy, because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on until completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy, because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on until completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6
It is the greatest privilege to be involved fulltime in seeking to fulfil the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. As our Lord Jesus promised: “No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for Me and the Gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields – and with them persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.” Mark 10:29-30

2. About The African School
The African School was set up in September 2009, by Natty Mark Samuels, a Visiting
Tutor at both the Isis Academy and Ruskin
College, Oxford. This Cultural Educational project
provides education in African Studies, to people of
all ages and backgrounds ; focusing on pre-
colonial sub-Saharan cultures. It has specialisms
in early Black journalism and medieval Ethiopian
Christianity
African School can take place in your own
organisation’s premises or we can source a
suitable venue for you. We also deliver teaching at
community initiatives, cultural events and faith
organisations.
Our Approach
The African School was founded on a vision and a
belief, in Cultural Education for the general community. Sessions are
designed, using interactive learning aids, such as human maps, cloze
exercises, and charades. Lessons are interspersed with role play and
the use of mime enabling the teaching to be fused with fun.
If you go on a train or coach, you will see word searches being attempt-
ed. Many pubs present a weekly quiz. So We utilise these universal
learning tools that are familiar and popular: hoping that whoever steps
through the learning door, will be able to engage and enjoying their
time in African School.
All African School courses are accredited by Oxfordshire Coun-
ty Council. For youth (under 16) Oxfordshire Young People’s
Award; for adults—Oxfordshire Achievement Award.
Our Objectives
The enjoyment of Cultural Education
A leave taking of the Mud Hut Syndrome; gaining a balanced, truer
picture, of African history
That what is learnt, will then be passed on.
