I recently published a book. It's titled, "Words Have Flavors," by Carla Alo. It is a poetry book and it took me four years to write. After my brain surgeries (summer of 2007), I decided to follow my dreams and finally publish my poetry. You can buy the book in Barnes and Nobles, Amazon, and many more stores.

The money that I get from the book will go towards InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Summer Service fund. I want to try and go to Cairo, Egypt to teach English.

"Egypt is not the final destination for many of the Sudanese who find themselves refugees there. Most hope to either return to Sudan or to be sent to another county that is more prepared to receive and assist them. Often this is an English-speaking country such as Australia, Canada and the United States. Egypt is often just a temporary home, as they wait for the UNHCR to help them find asylum in other places around the world. The Sudanese want to be as prepared for their new life as possible. This means that they are interested in learning English so they will have an easier time getting around and finding work when they are relocated.

We get the opportunity to teach English to these Sudanese brothers and sisters four evenings a week. Often the classes take place in the same schools where we teach children during the day. Often it is the Sudanese teachers and parents of the students who attend these English classes." - [link]

I hope that I can get your support and that the poetry blesses you.

Love,

Carla Alo
