As I'm preparing for my #smallweb #homelab project for 2022, installing #yunohost, #nextcloud, #vaultwarden, #owntracks and more on my #raspberrypi devices, I just re-read this post by @aral from 2020, and got inspired all over again. Thanks Aral!

Hey you, I need you for #Africa..

I've been busy today with setting up SchoolForAfrica learning platform..

There's still a lot to be done but I need some people now who want to submit some lesson content 🧑‍🏫 🎉

When you signup you can apply for teacher or even later. This requires approval😉 There's a front end creator for lessons with text, images, videos, slides etc, etc!

For now you can add a price but I will set this all to ZERO! It's a FREE online learning platform for kids in Africa(Kenya) where we (the peoples) will submit (good quality) lesson content so they can enjoy a little more knowledge for free.. ❤️

Please don't bite me on lorem ipsum text, for now I need some lesson material and the stuff I create well...

See the platform live here: https://schoolforafrica.com

If you have time and wanna help some kids please think about signing up and helping us out! ❤️
