We are proud to be the first publishing company to donate two children's books to the Vihiga Children's Home in Vihiga, Kenya. Now over 200 books fill the shelves at the orphanage. The first two books were both by Dr. Molly Barrow and are of the Malia and Teacup series of adventure books. both of these books take part at least partially in Kenya. The children at the school were delighted to receive the books, especially because they were written about their own country, and how a little girl from Illinois ends up in Africa, escaping one misadventure after another. The library was the idea of Lillian Tuttle, a Fulbright Scholar from Versailles, Kentucky, who just spent three months with the children, helping to prepare them for their high school entrance exam. The home for the children is sponsored by the the wonderful dedication of the Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church of Louisville, Kentucky. Lillian, along with the other young adults who came to Kenya also worked with the younger children, took field trips to museums and safaris, and also celebrated the orphanages first Halloween. She hopes the library will grow and the children will have many more books to select from throughout the coming years. The children are in need of sponsorships. Over a 4 year high school period they will need $3,000 to sponsor their education. Many people donate to the church mentioned above to help these wonderful kids receive their education.
Barringer Publishing has launched two new exciting children's books by Dr. Molly Barrow. The reviews are coming in - "These are the kinds of books that parents and teachers as well as kids, have been seeking."
