Stephanie and John's Walk Across Zanzibar

Tom Warth is a visionary who made it big as an entreprenuer. When he sold his publishing company, he decided to use his big brain and big heart to solve another problem - the book famine in Africa. 

Books For Africa is the largest shipper of donated text and library books to the African continent, shipping over 34 million books to 49 different countries since 1988.  Over the past 12 months they have shipped 2.4 million books, 665 computers and 200 e-readers containing 1.6 million digital books, as well as 5 new law and human rights libraries to 21 African countries. More than $2.3 million was raised last year to ship the books to the students of Africa.

Tom has been a good friend of ours for years. And when he decided to raise awareness (and funds) by walking across Zanzibar for his 80th birthday and asked us along, it was, well, hard to turn down.  So we didn't. It's our distinct honor to walk beside this amazing man in support of such a worthy cause.

We hope you will consider supporting this walk and this legacy.
