Reaching Across Continents to Provide Children's Books to Children: An American - Tanzania Connection Made in Good Faith, Hope, and Love.
It is time that the world comes together to meet the needs of the common man and women.
There are so many people in America that would be willing to contribute to a cause such as the one that the Coalition of Children's Book Authors have designed for 2014. Each member of the coalition is willing to donate and ship their book to Tanzania based on the great relationship that has transpired between Dr. Michael Provitera, author of the children's storybook titled "Happy Go Lucky," and Majaliwa, Chair and Founder of the organization for children in Eastern Africa.
In the vast land of learning and growing, there are children that want to read books but cannot afford them. As the coalition expands our networks to ask people to buy our books and join our cause, children in Tanzania at the Children Care Development Center are awaiting the shipment with open arms. While the center wants to place a library in our name and remember us, we appreciate that. Our goal, however, is to place a smile on the children's face. This value beats any relative value of a sale or promotion. Promoting smiles and winning hearts is what this cause is all about.
As Judith Addington, author and member of the coalition said from her heart "I feel like we should be honoring YOU, MAJALIWA MBOGELLA, for this profound work you are doing in Tanzania at CCDO to provide a better life for women and children who will go on to be future world-changers! YOU are to be commended for your ministry and commitment to making a better world!" Or, what Layne Case said as a follow-up remark to Judith "To be a part of this is truly a blessing!" And finally, Betty Davis extends her heart and vast network of professionals to help us in our cause. Betty said "Dear Majaliwa, I really wanted to thank- you for this wonderful opportunity to help the young girls and boys and women that you help in empowering them to be successful. I have been promoting this and getting some positive responses to helping either by having people buy my books and then sending the books themselves. Again thanks so much."
I, Michael Provitera, Founder and Chair of the Coalition of Children's Book Authors would like to thank all the authors that are willing to commit to the needs of the children in Tanzania. Thank you for placing an advertisement, warming your hearts, and extending your hard earned and valuable books to the people in most need of our love and support.
