Summary:
This is the inspiring story of a Canadian woman who transformed a simple afternoon of reading to a group of children in her backyard in
Ghana
, Africa, into seven large community
libraries
in impoverished areas of the country's capital, support for more than 200 smaller initiatives around
Ghana
and in other African countries, and a publishing venture that produces children's books in English and Swahili. Kathy Knowles now runs her volunteer-based Osu Children's Library Fund out of her Winnipeg home with twice-yearly trips to
Ghana
.
