About<\/strong> :\u00a0eBooks help to promote ongoing communication between students in Umulogho Village, Nigeria and students in Watford schools.<\/p>\n

Bev Carter’s\u00a0eBook\u00a0A Little Something About Me<\/a> (generated by with support from Proboscis) was used to assist\u00a0a series of workshops\u00a0in six\u00a0schools in Watford\u00a0during\u00a02008 to\u00a0communicate through words, paintings and photographs\u00a0the life, experiences and interests of students attending a secondary school in Umulogho, a rural village in\u00a0Imo State, Nigeria, West Africa.<\/p>\n

During school workshops copies of this eBook were handed out to the students and a discussion was encouraged and facilitated by Bev. The pupils really liked the eBook and it\u00a0served to generate more curiosity and questions about life in Umulogho. As part of the process another eBook created to capture all the thoughts and enquries the students had.<\/p>\n

The next eBook was called ‘Kedu?<\/a>‘ This means ‘How are you? in Igbo,\u00a0the main language spoken in Umulogho Village. This\u00a0was a collection of further questions from students in Watford using pictures created by Umulogho students to give them added visual interest. In July 2008 copies of the ‘Kedu’ eBook were hand delivered to Umulogho Village by Tony Amaechi, a Trustee of Friends Out There<\/a>, and some Umulogho Village students then filled in their response to the questions in the eBook.\u00a0Five eBooks were collected by Tony on his return to the UK\u00a0and some students told Tony that they had enjoyed filling in the eBooks, were thrilled to see their paintings scanned in to them and were happy to know that students in the UK were interested in them, their dreams and concerns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In October 2008 the completed Kedu eBooks were taken back to some of the schools in Watford that had asked the original questions. The students were amazed and pleased to see they really had been given some answers to their questions, such as ‘are there any crocodiles in the village stream? \u2013 some Umologho students had seen some and others hadn’t.\u00a0The eBooks got the Watford students talking about what time they wake up in the morning and what they do before school as most students in Umulogho were awake by 5.30 am and\u00a0had gone to the village stream and back to collect water before going to school.\u00a0The Kedu eBooks also gave the Umulogo\u00a0students a space\u00a0to ask some questions that they had\u00a0for the Watford students such as ‘what seasons do you have in England?’ and ‘what religions do you have?’<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next stage will be to create another eBook to continue the communication between the schools in Umulogho and Watford. The eBook\u00a0is an excellent resource for schools: students like the pocket sized feel,\u00a0it’s a great way\u00a0to capture\u00a0conversations and enquiries and, even though the\u00a0school in Umulogho\u00a0Village doesn’t yet have a computer or internet access, we were still able to send and receive paper copies \u2013 using more traditional means of connection and communication.<\/p>\n
