With 883 LESS schools in South Africa from 2017-2022, education and literacy are non-negotiables if the future of our country is to be a bright one. Enter Ros Toerien and her colleagues at the LEARN Project.

Since 2012, LEARN has over 85 000 books, established 24 school libraries and placed over 339 book corners across South Africa.

Coupled with this, Ros is a published author of two children's books, namely Under the Baobab Tree and The Rumbling Rhino. She has two new exciting books ready to hit all major book stores nationwide in the coming months.

At a time when it is so easy to be negative in South Africa, Roselynne has decided to take action and be part of the change that we so desperately need. You can follow her journey and get in touch with LEARN on the below links:
