Personal message

National Book Week takes place from 5 - 10 September 2011, and PawPrint Africa Project is launching a special literacy campaign to bring books in the Animal Adventures in Africa series to underpriveleged children living around game reserves in South Africa.

Your donation of only R65 a book (or any part thereof) will help promote literacy in sectors that need radical upliftment, as well as in communities that would benefit the most from conservation of wildlife. We always ensure that the books are directly distributed to the children who need them.

Literacy is one of the biggest problems facing our country today. A recent survey by the South African Book Development Council revealed that 51% of South African households did not have a single book in their homes and that only 14% of South Africans are active readers! By helping a child to learn to read, you give them hope in a better future and hope for their communities.
