Create one in your country! :D That is basicaly what we are doing in IberoCoop - help groups from all over Latin World with guidance and help. And IF they want to became a chapter, we help them (talk with ChapCom members, each month we have a new request from a Latin Chapter ;) ) I know isn't easy in Africa, but isn't easy either in Latin America, and we are doing it. _____ *Béria Lima* <http://wikimedia.pt/>(351) 925 171 484 *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.
