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!

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.
