Hello, I am a graduate student at the University of Guelph in the
Department of Rural Extension Studies.  I am doing research on
"Traditional Folk Communication Practices" and find this topic
fascinating but i find myself with lack of resources.

This study broadly covers two main aspects to the problem:
i) To study and analyse the mechanisms for facilitors to get acquainted
with existing cultural systems pertaining to traditional folk methods of
communication practices; and
ii) if so, to study and investigate if traditional folk methods of
communication can be utilized effectively with participatory appraoches in
order to foster social awareness.

I strongly believe that this type of research can flourish within the
development communication realms and would appreciate sharing and
receiving any kind of information.

Yours sincerly,
Valerie

Also, if you would have those types of resources: I found in a book three
articles that were presented for ACCE/IDRC bywhich i find great interests:
they are:

Kiwanuka-Tondo, James. "The Traditional Communication Media in Uganda: A
Strategy for Development Support". Paper presented for ACCE/IDRC seminar
on communication processes: Alternative Channels and Strategies for
Development Support. November 14-16. Nairobi. Kenya. 1990.

Outa, Odera G. "Theater Communication in Health and Population:
Experiences and Possibilities in Kenya". (same source as above)

Rapanoel, Didier. "Contributions of Oral Traditions and Mother Tongues
to Communication Strategy in Rural Communities". (ibid)

I am wondering if those titles sounds familiar to you and if you have
them to contact me at vbaron@uoguelph.ca  I will also send you my mail
address and fax # for communication later.

Sincerly yours,
Valerie
