Kenyan and Zambian Schoolchildren Join Forces to Publish Ground-breaking Book
250 learners from schools in Kenya have written and published a children’s book about Kenya’s Maasi tribe. The school children are selling the book to raise funds for teaching resources in Kenya. Students and tutors from the University of Central Lancashire have joined the Kenyan learners, providing help and expertise to the creation and publication of the book.The book, entitled Letters to Africa, features a series of letters exchanged between schoolchildren from Lancashire, Kenya and Zambia who shared stories about their lives and cultures. It also includes a glossary of the Kenyan Maasai tribe language. This is believed to be the first time this has been recorded and written down.
It is being officially launched at the Harris Museum, when 11-year-old Farington Primary School pupil Jack Sagar will get a special prize for writing the best letter.
Also featured is information about Aids awareness sports projects delivered by UCLan students to children in Zambia.
