Member Sharon Sharth, author of sixteen books for children recently spent time in Zambia, Swaziland, and South Africa working with an international organization struggling with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. She met many children infected with HIV/AIDS but did not see one book. Sharon says these kids need food, clothes and health care, but they also need art. A book in a child’s hand can give him or her access to the world, and, perhaps, hope. If you would like to make a book donation through Sharon, please contact her at sharonsharth@earthlink.net...
