Description

Synopsis and Position

Ndanda is a significant centre with both a long written and oral history. The Project will help the Abbey and the community at large to preserve this heritage. The archive will be an eye-opener for the students and researchers. It will assist them in broadening their knowledge on the history of the community. Slowly students will own their narratives. The community will have a new modern system in which they can preserve their historical past. Through digitalization, the Ndanda community will be united with the international community regarding historic preservation.

Workshops and Events

Saturday 26th November 2022 is a proposed date to display some of the archival materials to a group of students here at Ndanda.
