I’m an independent published author of a children’s book about a story of ablittle girl who makes imaginary friends while on holiday with her mom. Her new friends, Mama Winnie, Mme Charlotte, Ntate Samora, Ntate Biko, Mme Victoria, Ntate Sobukwe and Ntate Khama, teach her about some of the history of southern African and about living a life of purpose. I hope the book sparks reading sessions and conversations between the young and old. I’ve decided to have all the money go to @kagisano_foundation to help take on more learners from township schools onto the Mobile Reading Lab to teach them reading and computer skills.
