About Kofi

Kofi is not a nom de plume; not mine anyway. Kofi is my real name. It means a boy born on Friday.

Let me share with you something else about me. Not much. But enough. Besides my two sons, I have dedicated a good fraction of my time and energy to helping more than a few children in West African villages to fulfill their dream of learning to read and write. It all started in Lavié, my remote native Togolese village, where I had spent my ineffectual but extremely formative years as a child and then as a young adult.

One day, while working with the children of Lavié, a boyhood called. I paused at the shuffle of its flip-flops and looked over my shoulder. It was my boyhood. When it neared, it spooked me with this book – Kofi, a Child of Lavié. I sat and thumbed through the book. Every page is both heart-tugging and entertainingly spellbinding; plus I couldn’t believe my own pictures there in. Get your copy today; read it, review it, and expand its readership. 100% of royalties paid to me are directly donated to The Children of Lavié, Inc — www.thechildrenoflavie.org.

Thank you for your interest, your support and your kind reviews. Though I am currently engrossed in digging my memories for a voice to tell my next set of experience, I will do my best to respond to all inquiries should you write to me via heynow@kofiamouzou.com.

Regards,
Kofi
