Modern Egypt

2009
We often think that there are many old things in Egypt like the pyramids, Sphinx, temples and museums. All of this is true but there are modern things in Egypt too. We can’t list all the modern things in Egypt in this website. It will take books, not one or two but many books. But in this website you’ll find few of the most important modern things in Egypt. If you go to Egypt you will see many different things like the new buildings and modern transportation systems. And you will see the people who have open minds about their country and the world and they have modern ideas. People from Egypt hope that people around the world do not think that Egypt is an old country with old ideas.

XHOSA TRADITION&HISTORY

1999
Our entry is titled Xhosa Traditions and Cultures. Many people living outside of South Africa are unaware of the different cultures which make up South Africa's society. The educational objective of this project is to provide people with information on different aspects of Xhosa culture. These include : marriage, traditions and the role of amaquiga( shaman). Many are these traditions are still in practice- both in the rural areas of South Africa and in urban areas. Another issue raised is the relevance of these pratices among the Xhosa community which is moving to cities and becoming Westenised.
