Our Fundraising
Project Vision

The Culture of Africa is varied and manifold, consisting of a mixture of countries with various tribes depicting their unique characteristic and trait from the mother land. It is a product of the diverse populations that inhabit the continent of Africa and the African diaspora. Generally, Culture can be defined as a collective mass of distinctive qualities belonging to a certain group of people.  These qualities include laws, morals, beliefs, knowledge, art, customs, and any other attributes belonging to a member of society. Culture is the way of life of a group of people.

 

Africa has numerous ethnic nationalities all with varying qualities such as language, dishes, greetings, dressing and dances. However, all African peoples share a series of dominant cultural traits which distinguish African Culture from the rest of the world. For example, social values, religion, morals, political values, economics, and aesthetic values all contribute to African Culture.

 

Expressions of culture are abundant within Africa, with large amounts of cultural diversity being found not only across different countries but also within single countries. Even though African cultures are widely diverse, they are also, when closely studied, seen to have many similarities; for example, the morals they uphold, their love and respect for their culture, as well as the strong respect they hold for the aged and the important, i.e., kings and chiefs.

 

That is why we at Block136 is building an African community in every province in Canada for Africa and non-African to experience when every Africans can come together to build a one unifies community to share goals and ideas and trade together without any border line.

 

As a result, we are urging all Nationalities to come together and contribute to our aspiring African village fundraising project. This would be a huge step to establish a dream community that will hold our African Arts, cultures, heritages, lifestyles and so on.
