Congo Education Project
This project aims to support formal education systems for rural forest peoples in Central Africa. The current fund-raising effort aims to build a school and hire a teacher for a year for the Aka forest foragers (also known as "pygmies") of the Central African Republic. The project was established by the River Cities Anthropological Society at Washington State University Vancouver (the official name of the anthropology club at WSUV).
If you have any questions about the Aka or this project, please contact Professor Barry Hewlett (360) 546-9449 or club secretary/treasurer Debra Barnett 546-9660 or barnett@vancouver.wsu.edu
