Building Relationships Key to 快猫视频's Success

快猫视频 Executive Director Patrick Plonski recently returned from Washington, D.C., where he attended the 59th , and met with key partners, including USAID and several African Ambassadors.

The ASA annual meeting is the largest gathering of African scholars in the world, with over 2,000 scholars and professionals attending. 聽This year鈥檚 meeting, titled Imagining Africa at the Center: Bringing Scholarship, Policy, and Representation in African Studies, focused on the need to 鈥渋nterweave academy, policy, and practice鈥 in African Studies. 聽Recognizing the wide variety of ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity throughout the continent, and breaking the perception of the African continent as a singular entity was also key to the discussion. 聽Being part of this discussion allows 快猫视频 to connect with a wide variety of individuals and organizations interested in promoting literacy in Africa, and helps guide our efforts in making sure that we are meeting the needs of all the different types of recipient groups that we work with.

Plonski also met with to help raise awareness of 快猫视频鈥檚 efforts to end the African book famine, and to open the door for future collaborations. 聽Meetings with Equatorial Guinea could lead to 快猫视频鈥檚 first ever shipment to the country, and a container of Spanish language books was discussed, which would be another first in organizational history. 聽Identifying and developing these key relationships allows 快猫视频 to better understand the needs of each country, and will ultimately result in high quality, relevant books being put in the hands of African learners in need.
