Star of Hope Children’s Centre is located in Bungoma County, Kenya. This organization provides a home for 30 vulnerable children who lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, armed conflict, abandonment, malaria or other disease. Star of Hope also provides an education and meals to more than 150 village children.
SCBWI-WWA member Dana Sullivan works with this organization and is asking community members to attend their annual fundraiser and / or donate a signed book to the Star of Hope School & Orphanage in rural Kenya.
“I’m collecting signed books by local kid lit authors/illustrators for a basket to auction,” said Sullivan. “If you can, please mail a book to me.” You can mail a signed book to the address below:
Dana Sullivan, 5015 Magnolia St, Port Townsend, WA 98368.
