You probably heard the story on NPR if you are in the U.S., but what a great book. A Ghanaian chicken entreprenuer started small, many years ago. A small donation by you can make sure that hundreds of kids in Ghana will get to read this book! Just write "One Chicken" on your donation, and we'll get copies of the book for our three libraries in northern Ghana.
A site devoted to thoughts about books, reading, and libraries relevant to Africa mostly by Michael Kevane, co-Director of Friends of African Village Libraries, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to helping village and small community libraries in Africa. I am also an economist at Santa Clara University. Other frequent contributors are Kate Parry, FAVL-East Africa director, and Anne-Reed Angino, FAVL networker extraordinaire!

A book about chickens and microcredit

After listening to the NPR piece from 6 March 2008, "One Hen" sounds like a fabulous addition to FAVL libraries in Ghana. Such a book appeals to the real lives of Ghanian children.
