The story highlights changes in a child's life from having the opportunity to learn to write stories and to read. The child starts out as an orphan in a squatter camp, and finishes up as a bright little girl with her own book launch and published story. It aims at getting funding in our NPO to enable the NPO to help with literacy by training children to write stories, publishing them and then giving books to disadvantaged children and so encouraging reading of child written books. This helps with literacy as children will read what children write.. The little orphan is the daughter of Bonga Zondo, who was the cameraman and editor. The teacher is Bonga's wife. The script was written by Felicity Keats who is also a right brain trainer and a niche publisher. the voice is Detlev Diegel, also a colleague.
