Happy International Translation Day!
It's really good for children to read books in the language that they are most familiar with. This is why we continuously expand our Book Dash library by adding translations of our books in 11 official South African languages.

Teachers don't teach for the income.
Teachers teach for the outcome!
Please retweet to show your thanks to teachers globally - incl. those teaching kids to reach their full potential in the midst of armed conflicts, forced displacement & natural disasters!

Multilingualism deepens connections & preserves diverse cultures and knowledge. Yet, 40% of the global population lacks education in a language they understand.
8 September is #LiteracyDay. Let's support multilingual education for a more inclusive world.
