Details

Mission and objectives

Sissala Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Ghana. The Foundation seeks to preserve, enhance and promote Sissala arts and culture, thus ensuring sustained improvement in the quality of life of the Sissala people in Ghana. The foundation envisions a world that respects and celebrates cultural diversity. The Sissala heritage foundation will be the driving force behind a culturally rich, socially progressive and economically developed Sissala society for the future generations.

Context

In our effort to foster unity and respect within the Sisaali-speaking community, we are developing a resource that embraces both Christian and Islamic traditions: a compilation of names to be translated into Sisaali. Your assistance is crucial in refining this resource. We need help organizing the list by removing duplicates, alphabetizing the entries, and eliminating numbering. Your contribution directly fuels a project aimed at honouring the rich tapestry of religious identities within the Sissala community.

Task description

The Sissala Heritage Foundation is in need of 6 online volunteers to aid in compiling a catalog of Christian and Islamic names for translation into Sisaali. Responsibilities include deduplicating entries, organizing names alphabetically, and removing numbering. This initiative aims to promote cross-cultural appreciation and inclusivity among the Sisaali-speaking populace. Online volunteers will be assigned to various datasets, including Christian and Islamic baby boy and girl names.
