What do we think of when we think of “Africa”? We are bombarded with a multitude of often conflicting representations. Rarely do we catch a glimpse of what the people who live in this vibrant continent really think and feel. Even more rarely do we gain an insight into what the children in Africa think of life, the future of their country and their perception of the UK. In publishing this book we are hoping to bridge the cultural divide between UK and African schoolchildren by giving them a chance to tell us about their lives through letters, drawings, fictional pieces by well known children's authors and award-winning photographs. All sales of the book will go towards purchasing vital educational resources in Kenya and towards helping Zambian children orphaned through AIDS.
