Many South African children have never had the priviledge of owning a reading book... but you and I will change that soon. I am prepared to run 42km to collect reading books for underpriviledged children to enjoy in one of the 11 official languages present in South Africa.

Book Dash, a wonderful organisation that gathers volunteer creative professionals to create new, African storybooks that anyone can freely translate and distribute will be where the books will come from. Each book will cost 1 Euro and I would like to collect 1000 Euros (or more).

So on your marks, ready, sponsor!

Interesting stories can be found on my blog www.1sttimersblog.wordpress.com

Viele Kinder in Südafrika haben nicht das Privileg ein eigenes Buch zu besitzen...aber du und ich werden das bald ändern! Ich bin bereit 42km zu laufen, um Kinderbücher, geschrieben in den 11 offiziellen Landessprachen Südafrikas, für sozial benachteiligte Kinder zu sammeln.

Die Bücher kommen von Book Dash, einer großartigen Initiative von professionellen Kreativen, die ehrenamtlich Kinderbücher in afrikanischen Sprachen schreiben und zeichnen. Jeder kann sich an Book Dash beteiligen, Texte übersetzen oder spenden und so die Organisation unterstützen. Jedes Buch von Book Dash wird 1 Euro kosten und mein Ziel sind 1000 Euro (oder mehr).

Also, auf die Plätz, fertig – Spenden!

  • There is a famous quote by the Brazilian poet Mário Quintana that says that books don't change the world. Who changes the world is people. And books change people. Sine, be proud of what you are doing. because all your effort is going to be worth it and it will change the lives of many children. Such an amazing initiative! I'm so happy to have met you here.and to follow your exemple as an inspiration to always do good. Kisses from a friend that admires you! Vanessa Lage
