Africa sings a song none has ever heard, from the eccentric cracking of its desert to the siren of its deep waters, there are numerous stories to tell, stories of hope, of life, of beauty and the list is endless in truth. We want to verse our stories, (the good, The Bad, The ugly).To describe mother's beauty in our rich blackless, to blunt the sword of oppression with sassy words, share our hopes and to most importantly help build our African dreams!.
REASON FOR THE ANTHOLOGY
Builders of the African Dream is supporting its affiliate 'The-I'll-Be-There Foundation' to raise funds for the construction of an orphanage which by design will house not less than 500 street children and also provide three classroom blocks for their tuition.
It is in this view that we hope to generate some appreciable funds from the sale of this anthology to back our brethren in the Makerere University, Kampala Uganda.
Help Lets make the street for Cars not Homes.
