Dear Friends,
Swahealing is a combination of Swahili and Healing. Swahili, as one 
of teh most widely spoken African languages reminds Africans of their 
roots, wherever they are. Swahili is therefore symbolic of Africa. We 
have combined this with healing because we realise that you must be 
in touch with your roots to be whole. In other words, we will bring 
on board uniquely African contributions. Am I making any sense? Well, 
hope so and kudos to you all for this wonderful network!
John Bwakali

 I've been talking with John too about their community video project 
in Kenya and Tanzania as well as their indy project. I really think 
it will be nice that they get to deal with different people from the 
network and get a feel of things here. So it is fine with me that 
You(Blicero) and Francois deal with that. 

Just one question for John. Is  "Swahealing" too a swahili word or 
the name of a place in Nairobi? 
Solidarity,
Kwaheri-swahili for bye:-))))

>> We are from different parts of Kenya. On several occasions, we 
conducted brainstorming sessions with media practitioners and ‘media 
lovers.’ These were spontaneous sessions that discussed the African 
socieyt in general and \'media at the grassroots level\' in 
particular. From these discussions, people and issues emerged. It is 
this issues that these people will focus on.

>> African culture places a big emphasis on collective effort. 
Virtually all the forty-two communities of Kenya have aspects of 
their respective cultures that clearly portray this emphasis. 
However, this unity is often compromised through power struggles that 
stem from divisive tendencies like hierarchical structures. The 
principles of Indymedia outline the kernel of action oriented unity 
that can propel media into a deeper level of truth as it is and not 
truth as we want it to be. These, are the principles that have drawn 
us into Indymedia.
