Introduction
The vast region of Africa south of the Sahara supports many varied cultures and lifestyles. Often people in one country of the region know little about life in other countries in the region. People on other continents frequently have misperceptions about life in Africa south of the Sahara. In this lesson you will learn about a project that uses the Internet to connect students in countries all over the world. You will study the results of an interaction between students in South Africa and students in Uganda. You will also read about how students in Chicago and Ghana shared their perceptions of life in each others' countries.
