Description
In southwest Ethiopia during the time when the author Caroline Kurtz was growing up there, coffee grew wild in the forests of what was then Kaffa Province, which might well be where coffee originated! Coffee still grows wild there, but now it's also being cultivated in shade plantations within the area's forests. Hopefully, shade-grown coffee, as a cash crop, will help preserve some of the Southern Forest Block of Ethiopia. All over the country, Ethiopians naturally feel proud of their indigenous plant, now loved around the world, and they have developed an elaborate coffee ceremony as well as numerous proverbs about coffee. Ready Set Go Books, an Open Hearts Big Dreams Project, is focused on increasing the literacy rate in Ethiopia through giving readers books with stories in their heart languages, full of colorful illustrations with Ethiopian settings and details. Profits from books sales will be used to create, print, and distribute more Ready Set Go Books to kids in Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous country. Ethiopia's population is 44% children, ages 0-14 (43 million out of 97 million total). Only 5.5% of children attend pre-school or kindergarten, and the adult literacy rate is 49%. Our books are based on wise Ethiopian sayings that often rhyme in Amharic. If an adult says the first half, many children can chant the second half. Sometimes the meaning of these sayings is clear. Sometimes it has to be puzzled out and argued over. But sayings and idioms and proverbs help people express truths and beliefs in unusual ways. Open Hearts Big Dreams Fund (OHBD) is a 501(3)(c) not for profit organization that believes the chance to dream big dreams should not depend on where in the world you are born. Our focus is to support nonprofit organizations and their programs that provide literacy, K-12 education, and leadership as well as that support the parents and communities where the kids live, in Ethiopia.
