www.solutionbeacon.com - I've collaborated with Solution Beacon on three books so far. One particularly nice thing about our books is that all of Solution Beacon's proceeds (more than $28,000 so far!) go to the Solution Beacon Foundation. Foundation money has been used to help Steve Peifer, winner of CNN's prestigious 2007 CNN Heroes Award, to set up computer centers in Kenya that feed and educate more than 10,000 children. If you're looking for a book that tells a heartfelt story about making a difference in Africa, buy Steve's Your Pal Steve. I read it from cover to cover on a long plane trip and laughed and cried - Steve is a terrific writer and storyteller, and this is a book well worth buying.
