This has been in the planning stages for awhile now, and I’m ready to announce it. I’m partnering with the non-profit organization “Africa Reads.” This organization means a lot to me. Their main focus is to bring literacy to Africa, starting in the country of Rwanda, because of the connections they have been able to make. The plan is to have it spread across all of Africa. For folks that don’t know, 16 years ago, Rwandans suffered a 100-day slaughtering of almost ONE-MILLION people at the hands of it’s government. Since then, the citizens have been able to rally together and completely change their nation. It is now a nation of loving and caring people who rely on God to bring them to where they need to be.

It is believed that if Rwandans had been able to read better, and had more access to print, they may have been able to avoid such a devastating event. In 2008 the new Rwandan government, in order to help their economic growth, changed their national language from French to English. Africa Reads’ hope is to alleviate this problem.

How am I partnering with them? 10% of all my profits are going to the organization. I know the folks who run this NGO personally, and know that the money will be used properly. They are better at explaining this program than I am, so watch the video below to find out more about their recent trip.
