A world of readers

As of January this year, my world turned a big page. I started working with Worldreader – on a voluntary basis. I owe Carl a big thank you as he discovered this excellent organization and with a tag line of 'Books For All', I fell for them, hook, line, and sinker and am madly, if if not obsessively in love with them.

With a simple mission of bringing digital books to children in schools, the dynamic team is transforming the way the world reads. The team itself is fantabulous. I met some of them at my book reading and knew that we would be friends for life.

The team

When I accompanied Carl to their offices, I got to meet the co-founder, Colin and all the others who work tirelessly, flying in and out of Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, and their scope continues to expand.

I have worked with them to edit stories so far, and come up with some Q&As for teachers and students to use for book discussions. Also, recently, have been entrusted with coming up with our book of the week. Yes, I now consider myself one of the Worldreader teamies.

Carl has already spent a week in Ghana attempting to resolve connectivity issues for some ereaders (times like this I brim with pride at all he is capable of).

I could go on and on, but I will not do Worldreader any justice, because the proof is in the pudding. And the pudding here is concocted out of an amazing recipe of many talents, inspired founders, tireless team mates, willing politicians, and aid agencies, and of course, enthusiastic children. Check out the website. Donate, read, enjoy, and follow me as both Carl and I continue our journey with them.
