[New-imc] IMC Swahealing?

[valentine V eben]

Hello Again John! 
I think I understand the desire of your group to bring on board a uniquely African contributions.
But if you take a look at a couple websites and network list, you realise that the naming of imc collectives seems to go as much with a geographical location than with a political or other concept. Of course there exist some issue imcs like Eugene.Yet I think it will be nice if your group considered thia abit. So that other future groups will not get the complication of trying to figure-out a name that will reflect a particular high point they wish to bring into the network. 
This is just an opinion and not a rejection of your group name by me.

>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!
