Advance Screening of Wayne Dyer Movie for Charity Fund Raiser
On Saturday, January 10th, 2008 Africa Book Project collaborated with two other charities to bring the advance screening to Calgary.

Dr. Wayne Dyer's first movie Ambition to Meaning, Finding Your Life's Purpose debuted in Calgary to raise funds for projects in Africa. Dr. Dyer is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development. He's the author of 30 books and has appeared on thousands of television and radion shows.

This fundraising event marked a collaborative effort between The Africa Book Project, True Vision Ghana and The Fountaine Children's Charity Foundation. All three Calgary-based organizations operate development projects in Africa.
