About Sakhams

What is Sakhams?

Sakhams is a collection of personal projects that I have made over the years. It is a place where I can share my work with the world while introducing others to geography. I have always been passionate about geography, and I want to share that passion with others. If you would like to learn more about the creator of Sakhams, please see About the Creator .

Why was Sakhams made?

Sakhams was made for two primary reasons:

1. I wanted to create a place where I could share my personal projects with the world. I have been creating these projects for many years, and I created Sakhams as a place to bring them together under one website.
2. I am very passionate about geography and would like to share my passion with others. I believe geography is a fascinating subject that can be both fun and educational. I hope that Sakhams can be a place where people can learn about geography in an engaging way and where I can spark an interest in geography for those who may not have been interested before.

Free for everyone

Sakhams is free for everyone to use. I believe that everyone should have access to educational resources, especially for geography, and I want to make sure that Sakhams is accessible to everyone. I do not charge for any of the projects on Sakhams, and I do not plan to in the future. That said, tips are always appreciated. If you would like to support Sakhams, please see Contact .

A work in progress

Sakhams is a work in progress, and I am constantly adding new projects and features to the website. There will be new projects added regularly. I am always looking for ways to improve Sakhams, and I welcome any feedback or suggestions that you may have. If you have any ideas for new projects or features, please feel free to contact me .
