Babu's Fireplace
#BabusFireplace platform is giving elders an opportunity to share with the young various aspects of African cultural heritage that is fast disappearing with the various forces of globalization, modernization and is largely undocumented threatening its transmission. The ways of passing on African culture traditionally was done aurally/via narration and memory.
This idea has become more interesting during this #COVID19 period as children have not been going to school until January next year (In Kenya). The role of our elders in providing informal education as it was in the past would be most useful at this time.
Creative methods of content delivery and interaction will be used to keep the initiative entertaining, always a learning experience and relevant to the child of today's world.
