OVERVIEW OF ACTIONS

Welcome to the exciting world of African languages! Languages are not just a means of communication; they are a fundamental part of human culture and identity. In Africa, there are over 2,000 spoken languages, each with its own unique history, culture, and worldview. Unfortunately, many of these languages are under-resourced and under-researched, with little documentation or preservation of their rich linguistic and cultural heritage.

RESULAM and Black Heritage for the future

Throughout the years, there are several events celebrating the Black culture and history in the United-Staes of America and the rest of the world.

RESULAM, Resurrection of ancestral African languages, poses a critical question which is to know how to really promote, maintain, spread that history through ages.

This year RESULAM is looking at making a big jump ahead in providing more educational material to allow everybody to learn African languages in a fun way. As we know, spoken language is one of the most important vehicles to share the culture.

Created in 2005 by Schk Tchamna and  Schk…  RESULAM has developed over the past year multiple apps, dictionaries and produced story books, cartoons and more with a strong team of volunteers and contributors.

This is a call for action by RESULAM to be part of this amazing journey through financial support and more. Your donation will be used to fund our projects and operational needs.

If you don’t want to give directly to us, you can still support us in other ways:

•  Purchasing Resulam Books is an indirect way to support us, by getting something in return! Check out our store for Resulam branded Book. We are regularly adding new products so check back often. When you purchase a Resulam book from Resulam, at say $20, if the book has two (2) human authors, then the book has three (3) total authors, including Resulam as the Editor. Usually, Tthe benefit generated by the $20 book is $6 on average, out of which one third (1/3), i.e. $2 goes to Resulam, and $2 goes to each individual author.
•  Becoming a volunteer. Becoming a volunteer is also a great way to contribute to the organization. You can volunteer in many ways:
