·11 min·1 clip

Her project has already reached over 200 schools in eight Cape Verdean islands, plus Portugal and America.

The episode features an interview with Karolin Abramowicz, the mentor behind the 'Historia para Meninos' project. She begins by describing how her own experience learning Creole led her to translate children's stories into the language. Realizing many Cape Verdean children lack digital access, she shifted to printing physical books for schools and libraries. The project has distributed books to over 200 schools in eight Cape Verdean islands, as well as communities in Portugal and America. Karolin discusses her upcoming trip from March 23-30 to São Vicente and Santo Antão, where she plans school presentations and events. She explains the educational rationale for promoting Creole literacy, noting it aids comprehension and foreign language acquisition. The project targets kindergartens and elementary schools but also engages high schools where Creole is newly taught. Karolin reveals the project operates entirely on private donations and volunteer efforts, with no government or institutional funding. She describes positive reception from children and educators, particularly on islands like Fogo and Santiago. Schools can access digital resources, audiobooks, and request physical copies, though logistics like luggage limits pose challenges. Karolin emphasizes transparency with donors, asking schools only to demonstrate book usage. The interview concludes with her gratitude for community support in spreading Creole literacy.
