A New Book for Teachers on Mali and for the Parents of the Third Graders

Check out this new Mali teachers’ book on Kindle:

Sunjata – Children of the Mali Empire ~ Then and Now

12 great "Stories about Malian Children (some of whom grow up) for Teachers and Students of Africa and America’s West African Heritage"

Written by Robin Poulton, and with an introduction by VFoM President Ana Edwards (who also designed the cover and the inside of the book as well), this book provides fascinating insights into life in the Mali Empire, life under the successor Sonrai dynasty based in Gao, and life in modern Mali – like the delightful story of the baby being bathed in a bucket in Robin’s yard in Bamako, where he and his wife still have a house.

ALL PROFITS WILL SUPPORT VFoM projects for girls’ education in Ségou and Richmond.
