Teachers in Action Launches Books About Zambia
by Christina Mancuso - Jul 31, 2013
A group of retired teachers from Cincinnati is working to make a difference in Zambia. Teachers in Action, founded by Susan Richardson, Beth Duff and Mimi Gingold, is publishing two books about Zambia which will be used to promote literacy in community schools. Hello, Pretty Birds of Zambia and We People of Zambia include photographs of Zambia paired with simple English text and a translation into one of the three main indigenous languages, Tonga, Bemba or Nyanja. The books, the first two in an anticipated Life in Zambia series, are being sold both to equip community schools and to raise funds in support of two children's charities, the Ranchhod Hospice Daycare and Preschool and Sables Street Kids Program. Both programs support children infected with or orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the impoverished city of Kabwe.
