In fact we currently have affiliates in eight countries, with more on the horizon. These foreign affiliates are in Bangladesh, Cameroon, Canada, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. This issue of the eNews is dedicated to our freethinking friends overseas (and above us. Thanks Canada!). We bring you articles from students organizing the non-religious in religiously oppressive nations such as Nigeria and Ecuador. We also included information about the Freethought and Humanist movement abroad. We hope you enjoy the issue. Ever wondered what it's like to obtain a laptop for humanist activism in Nigeria? Peter Adegoke, a renowned African humanist, describes the difficulties he encountered, applauds the efforts of the SSA in helping him, and outlines some of the technological progress that has been made in the African humanist movement. |
