Uploaded new articles

That's it, I see the end. Another good couple of layers to put online and will be good.
As I told you I wanted to come back to these new objects.

1. Tablecloths batik:


You can see on the store we have a large collection of batik tablecloths. We chose to bring a large quantity for several reasons:
- these are real works of art, craft, colorful and cheerful, each piece is unique and requires extensive work (click here to explore the creation of batik)
- it is original as a gift for his own meals
- they are extremely strong both on the quality of the fabric on color fastness. For example, we ourselves several batik tablecloths for everyday use and after several years and many washings, the colors and fabric are still intact.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find craftsmen manufacturer of batik cloths because too much competition from Asia on the spot forcing them to retrain elsewhere.

2. Tablecloths North Cameroon


We also wanted to present these beautiful tablecloths made to the old, typical of northern Cameroon (Maroua, Garoua ...). Indeed, they can no longer scale as woven the former with large handlooms. The women making these sheets still use the wheel to make the wire they use (as in Sleeping Beauty for fans of cartoons). Cotton is harvested locally and processed by the Cicam (textile company of Cameroon). Several models are presented in shop.

The North is known for its magnificent wildlife park of Waza I visited several times when I lived there. For fans here is the link for the site of the park: WAZA

3. The statues maternity



As explained on the site, motherhood is one of the pillars of Africa where a surprising number of objects of any kind intended for him. It is inconceivable for the African woman to be unable to have children while in the West, we can very well live without. Women are always depicted with large breasts, the symbol of life as a food source but also with generous shapes symbol of femininity. So we'll send a few statuettes related to motherhood, and we intend to import advantage thereafter and other genres. The biggest advantage of African art is that no limit in creation. Granted, many things you can look ugly and worse but for the uninitiated, primitive art is appreciated only when one knows its history, its symbolism, its function. These are works that feel that listen before being watched and judged. So we try to share with you the beauty we see it.


4. Beach towels


I wanted to talk about this category because these towels are very original integrated with their pocket but also very colorful and mostly they are made by my mother, with the campaign that we come from Cameroon. Thank you mom ...


on the store you will find other innovations such as wooden wine rack, jewelry, paintings, maps painted ...

Finally our new arrival

That's it, here it is finally our new arrival. It's always exciting to receive the goods. A bit like a child who is offered toys. We open the boxes and we discover what we ordered. The least funny happens later. Must be photos, reframe the work, put the items on the site, describe ... casually and there is a lot of hours to spend. But hey, we like that. I will make you a little history by tomorrow or after tomorrow depending on how advance the online but I can already tell you that we received great batik cloths of all colors, jewelry, statuettes of motherhood (the demand for midwives), bottle holders in ebony, baby clothes and still other items you can and will find on our store . I put some pictures to whet your mouth. See you soon.

If began with presentations


Firstly hello to you dear and thank you Keafricains your visit.
I think the best is already become acquainted with us.

My name is Bruno, I'm 31 and I live with my wife (who subsequently take care of this blog) and my 2 children in Seine et Marne. I am the manager of Keafrique the shop.

What KEAFRIQUE ?
Well you can say it's a word game Krystelle my wife, my children Ethan and Aaron and Africa.

Now, why you create it, here's a good question.

all began 8 years ago and meet my wife who has spent many years in Cameroon. At the time, Africa was completely unknown to me and I must admit that I did not really interest. But the meeting, I met this beautiful continent and I learned to discover and especially appreciate his art, handicrafts, cuisine, its landscapes, its traditions ...
few years ago, we did raise the idea of creating something that could share these pleasures around us but we did not respond.

And then a few months ago, talking with my step father who still lives in Cameroon, we said "tokens us water." We created our own site with my wife where many sleepless nights. As we appreciate the art of the table, we started by items related to it, then we brought in batik tablecloths, decorations, jewelry, paintings, masks and little by little over the receipts we complete our collection. This adventure, we live in a family with my beautiful parents are very involved despite their work.

With this blog, we try to share a little of our passion, you discover African crafts as well as art because it can only be enjoyed if one knows the meaning . We'll try to explain the techniques used to talk about their history, talk of craftsmen and artists who create them, to show you images and videos ...

And with Keafrique, we hope to bring a small stone building development by helping children already attend school. In fact, we buy and collect donations through school supplies bases (pencils, notebooks, rulers ...) that we ship. Hoping to do much more in the future, you too can participate in our action. To do this please contact us.

I hope you have compiled a fairly comprehensive presentation and most importantly, I wish you a safe journey on Keafrique. soon and please help us by giving us your opinion on the site, products ...

Now that my dear husband wrote his welcome message, I also welcome you and want you to know that following the blog will be written by me. See you soon.

The energy sector in Cameroon: institutional and energy resources

1. The institutional sector of the energy

The energy sector in Cameroon is organized around numerous administrative and public and private organizations:

- Presidency of Republic coordinates the activities of the sector, particularly those relating to hydrocarbons;

- The Ministry of Energy and Water (MINE), through its various branches (Electricity, Products Oil and Hydraulic), designs, develops and oversees the implementation of national energy policy;

- Ministries: Scientific Research Innovation (MINRESI), Finance, Industry and Technological Development; Forest Fauna, Transport, Environment and Protection of Nature;

- Agency Regulation of Electricity Sector (ARSEL) regulates and controls the activities of electricity sub-sector;

- The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) promotes rural electrification;

- Electricity Development Corporation (EDC), in charge of infrastructure development.

Several other organizations and industries, public and private are also within the energy sector, namely:

i) The buyer's strategic concession of power utility, AES-Sonel, which ensures the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity as part of a 20-year concession. It also involves its subsidiary KPDC;

ii) Society National Hydrocarbons (SNH), which provides research and exploration for hydrocarbons and manages the state's interests in this sector;

iii) Society National Refining (sonar), which provides crude oil refining and supply the national market in finished petroleum products;

iv) Cameroonian Society of Petroleum Deposits (PICS), which provides storage and supply of petroleum products distributors;

v) The Price Stabilization Fund of Hydrocarbons (HSPC), which provides the mechanism for stabilization and equalization in the distribution of finished petroleum products.

In addition, a number of private companies involved in exploration, production and distribution of oil and the transportation and distribution of crude oil (TOTAL, ELF SEREPCA; PECTEN). Regarding the distribution of finished products, various private companies are approved, including: TOTAL FINA ELF; OILYBIA; CORLAY; AZA AFRICA; TRADEX, TEXACO; Pétrolex; FIRST OIL; CAMOCO; MCTS; CAMGAZ. Some private companies provide the approved quality control of finished petroleum products transferred between several operators, it is primarily HYDRAC, SMS and Polytechnic. Other act in parallel in the biomass sector: ANAFOR and Research Laboratory of Energetics MINRESI.

During the period 2001-2003, major disturbances emerged in the supply of electricity within the concession of public service . Many SMEs are launched in the renewable energy sector particularly in the field of solar photovoltaic .

.

2. Energy resources

It is precisely the biomass, petroleum products, electricity and renewable energy.

Fuelwood and other biomass
Consumption of this type of energy in 1987/1988 was estimated at 18.61% against 81.39 in urban areas% in rural areas. The evolution of consumption is:

This table shows that the proportion of households using fuelwood decreased by 20.41% in urban areas and 13.67% in area rural, between 1988 and 2005. However, total consumption of fuelwood is still high for the whole country in 2005: 87.3% against 78% in 2001, it remains close to the consumption recorded in 1996, which amounted to 84% [2] .

Petroleum products
They consist of refinery gas, butane, kerosene, gasoline, super, diesel, etc.. It will focus in this study two of these products, namely the domestic gas (butane gas) and kerosene.
Total consumption of petroleum products amounted to 807.46 ktoe in 1987/1988 and should be between 1035.65 and 2099.54 ktoe ktoe in 2010. The cooking gas and kerosene accounted respectively for the same year, 2.46% and 11.61% of this consumption. According to the living environment in 2005, 92% of people use kerosene in rural areas and 76.9% in urban areas. By cons, 3.3% use domestic gas in the middle Rural cons 45.9% in urban areas.

electricity and renewable energy
Regarding electricity, hydropower potential is estimated at about 20 000Mw, more than 115 billion kWh that the country could produce annually if these resources were developed. The production equipment is hydraulic and thermal properties, and the total installed capacity is about 928MW, including 723MW for the three hydro and 205MW for the 39 thermal power plants. Predictions are that power between 1734MW and 2254MW in 2010 [3] . The three major hydro (Mape Mbakaou and Bamendjin) have a total capacity of 7600 million cubic meters. Production is mainly carried out by AES-Sonel and was 3919GWh in 2004. Forecast to be between 6125GWh in 2010 and 9505GWh [4] and between 7091GWh in 2015 and 17174GWh [5] .

The transportation network consists of high voltage lines (HV), Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV). The table below shows the distribution lines, the number of subscribers and the amount of electricity sold to consumers:

AES-Sonel operates two independent networks of transportation and distribution known as the southern interconnected system (90% of energy) and northern interconnected system, with a total length of nearly 23,000 km, and other areas of the country (including East), which are not connected to these networks are powered by diesel plants independent.

Renewables are mostly those that deliver the electricity can be classified in this category, solar photovoltaic (electricity for domestic or professional, produced from the light, using solar panels), solar thermal (heat production, by converting the energy contained in sunlight), wind energy (electricity produced from wind) and geothermal energy (heat energy from the basement). These last two sources of energy are not yet exploited in Cameroon, although the North and Far North have suitable sites for e velop me nt wind energy, including the cities of Maroua and Kaélé.

[2] These results were obtained after the ECAM I and II, and the investigation GPL.
[3] These forecasts were prepared during the implementation of the National Energy Plan 1990. They are calculated using three assumptions (scenarios A, B and C):
- Scenario A: Economic growth with very low failure Structural Adjustment Programme;
- Scenario B: Moderate growth and success of structural adjustment plan;
- Scenario C: Success of Structural Adjustment and enabling international economic environment.
[4] These predictions are made according to the above scenarios.
[5] These estimates are based on the Development Plan of the Electricity Sector 2030 (PDSE-2030).
