Deep appreciation goes to all who have contributed a total of over $11,000 to the TON of Hope Children’s Book Project, making possible the initial printing and distribution of From the Ground and UP in the United States. Current fundraising supports distribution and programs in a variety of venues with anticipation of additional translations and printings.  An Italian translation is now available at Amazon under the title Dalla terra verso L’ALTO.

As the Project grows, we anticipate that readers will discover many uses for the book: (1) an interactive educational and inspirational experience for child and adult readers, as individuals or in groups; (2) dissemination of information about Tent of Nations; (3) promotion of TON’s message of Faith, Hope, Love, and Sumud to bring about empowerment, peace, and justice.

We invite your continuing support of Tent of Nations and the Book Project. Tax-exempt contributions may be made through our fiscal agent, Trinity Las Americas United Methodist Church in Des Moines, Iowa.
