AFRICA WORLD BOOKS COMMUNITY EDUCATION ANNUAL REPORT 2021 2023 This last year has seen Africa World Books Community Education undertake many, varied events as well as the publication of many books authored by children as part of community education and literacy promotion. Our authors have written about their lives, the story around their family and encounters with people from many separate communities. We have many people to thank sincerely for their wisdom, guidance and faith in our products. We have many people to thank for their various inputs, ranging from books and education opportunities. We need to thank Dr. Richard Vokes from the University of Western Australia. Richard has been a participant and a skilled guide, through several events and programs. Dr Richard Vokes has helped instigate programs and has worked with student adult writers and we thank him most sincerely for all the benefits he has shared with AWBCE. The City of SWAN library gave us the opportunity to present our program and are interested in stocking more books published by AWBCE and AWB which is excellent, and we thank their fantastic team. We are grateful to the City of Wanneroo, especially Girrawheen library, for hosting the launch of a book written by a friend who is 90 years old. It was quite encouraging to meet community members. Our latest program includes a Bee keeping course, where handlers are trained in Tanzania, to work with Bees, the honey is then sold. The honey is eaten by many communities and is also a great health product. We must thank the people involved in this opportunity. We are sending two people to learn all about the care for Bees and Teddy Rabenold is facilitating the Course in Tanzania. We owe Dale Long a huge thank you because he is funding this program for two students, paying for their costs. Dale Long is a beekeeper, a generous man from Pennsylvania in the United States of America. Dale Long has helped many lost boys/girls settle in the USA and he continues to help, PASS Forum run by Acuil Malith in Juba, South Sudan is a partner of Africa World Books Community Education on the grounds that will identify candidates who will attend beekeeping workshops in Tanzania in 2023. AWBCE is very excited about the training, which will take place in May. The two students will learn everything about Beekeeping and will return to South Sudan to pass on this knowledge to other students. A business will be started and will change the Beekeepers lives forever, passing on the information to other keen students. There is a big market for honey from Bees in South Sudan. AWBCE is working to facilitate this project for the two lucky students who will live in Tanzania while learning about the Honey Industry. Another program where information has been created and circulated is the Sisters Project. We thank the Sisters Project as they sit with others and help write a document. This takes patience and time and we are very grateful to them.
