•Nounfrica Champions is an initiative that empowers players of indigenous sports to do things,meet people and visit places that inspire and enable them to realize their full potential. #NounfricaChamps
TL;DR
•An indeginous sports team ran by Nounfrica.
•Requesting 2 ETH to be funded by small grants/NSFW for a proof of concept with our first member.
Details
I am proposing a pilot program with our first member to validate the idea before firing on all cylinders for expansion. The grant will cover a 1 to 2 months of travel expenses for visiting film spots.
Nounfrica Champ #1: Rashid Azeez (Donkey race jockey)
Rashid Azeez is the Maulid Donkey Race defending champion,with 2 top 3 finishes in the preceding competitions he has participated in.
Azeez started riding donkeys 2 years ago with his trusty steed, ‘Bullet’. He lives on the island of Lamu, a UNESCO world heritage site that has a population of 6000 donkeys and attracts thousands of tourists for it’s annual donkey races. Azeez is a playful character full of youth and life and who’s endless curiosity to learn,makes him nounish.
Pilot program package.
Faciliting travel and stipend round the region to facilitate spend on flights, shipping logistics and accomodation.
In return for helping exhibit Africa’s rich and indeginous culture through the nounish lens, Nounfrica champions will help proliferate nouns in it’s true colors, sensational and sinister. A rich content bank for posting on social media will also be prioritized.
