A new children's book inspired by the history of Project HOPE
Dear Friend,
You’re invited to a discussion with author and illustrator Stephen Savage and Project HOPE’s Senior Technical Officer for Global Health Eden Ahmed Mdluli!
Please join us on Wednesday, June 2nd, 1:30pm EST, for a conversation with New York Times bestselling children’s book illustrator and author Stephen Savage as he discusses his new book And Then Came Hope with Project HOPE.
And Then Came Hope was inspired by the SS HOPE, the hospital ship started by Project HOPE’s founder Dr. William B. Walsh. The spirit of the SS HOPE lives on today through Project HOPE’s global health and humanitarian work in more than 20 countries. |
Stephen will be joined by Project HOPE’s Eden Ahmed Mdluli to discuss the book’s themes of child wellness, mental health, and the important role of community-based health care systems. Eden has a background in public health and works on Project HOPE’s maternal & child health programs. Neal Porter, publisher of And Then Came Hope, will moderate the discussion about the story — a timeless & uplifting message that encourages conversations between a parent and child about health and wellbeing.
We hope you can join for this special occasion! To register, please visit this link: And Then Came Hope + Project HOPE.
