Summary
Africa is often overlooked and often forgotten, I believe that Africa has a rich heritage of Knowledge, Library of Alexandria, was the Largest libraries of the ancient world. All people love knowledge and I believe that with sufficient knowledge, we can change the way the Continent is perceived and how we in turn perceive ourselves.
For Centuries the rich History of Africa has been hidden from the outside world, People believe that Africa is all about wars, sickness and poverty. There is no reliable window in which people can observe the unbias portray of the African man and his society. Wikimedia in this light might be that five years development strategy that will give Africa the true image it represents
