You’ve Helped!

I’m delighted to announce that thanks to royalties from the sale of The Kingdom of Emptiness and Amazir in eBook format, I’ve now been able to honour the commitment made upon publication – that a percentage of proceeds would be donated to charity. Tying in with one of the main themes running through The Kingdom, a contribution of €120 was made to PLAN International in support of girls and young women’s education in western Africa. I believe (and have seen through experience both in developed and developing countries) that learning has an incredibly positive impact, perhaps more so than anything else we can do, in preparing children to better master their destinies, open their minds to others, relay their skills, and pave the way for progress on a lasting and truly long-term scale. A BIG THANKS and why not CONGRATS to all of you who bought the book (and hopefully enjoyed it!). Needless to say, spreading the word means that with a bit of luck and merit, a further contribution for children’s education will be able to see the light for Christmas! That would make a nice presie, wouldn’t it? Meanwhile, have a peep at the PLAN website (in English/French) and why not read The Kingdom and help things move forwards! Poetry news coming soon… ;-)
