What is Book Dash?

Book Dash gathers volunteer creative professionals to create new, African storybooks that anyone can freely translate and distribute.

Why Book Dash?

Children in South Africa need more books, but they cost too much purchased from publishers. The cheapest books have no publisher – then the only cost is printing. So our participants do the work of publishers in a single day. After that, anyone can get print runs sponsored and put finished books into the hands of children.

We believe every child should own a hundred books by the age of five. In South Africa, that means giving 600 million free books to children who could never afford to buy them. Every day we lose, more children grow up unable to read and write well, and to enjoy the worlds that books open up.

什么是书几许？

本书收集短跑志愿创意专业人士创建新的，非洲的故事书，任何人都可以自由地翻译和分发。

为什么选择几许？

在南非的儿童需要更多的书籍，但他们花费太多的出版商购买。最便宜的书没有发布者 - 那么唯一的成本打印。所以，我们的参与者做单日出版的工作。在此之后，任何人都可以得到资助的印数放完书到孩子们的手中。

我们相信，每个孩子都应该拥有一百本书由五岁。在南非，这意味着给予6本亿免费书籍给孩子谁不可能买得起。我们每天都在失去，更多的孩子长大后无法读写良好，并享受本本开拓的世界。
