A
childs memory of the Second World War has been a labour of love for
those of us who were lucky enough to have known Miza Davie personally. The stories
are her personal memories of growing up during the Second World War between the
ages of five and 11. They were written at random as they came to her and are presented
much in the same manner. Although each story can stand on its own, together they
tell the seldom told story of the ravages of war on the civilian population and
especially the children.
Proceeds
from the sale of the book will go to the Mizas War Memories Trust Fund and
in turn awarded to three charities slected by Miza before she succumbed to cancer
in Jube, 2005 at the age of 72. The first is the Lions International Student Exchange
Program which matches up students in District A4 with Lions sponsored students
in other countries; the second is the Orleans Online Outstanding Youth Awards,
and the third is the Graffiti Youth Drop-in Centre project.
When
you purchase a copy of A childs memory of the Second World War, you
will be supporting three projects that were close to Mizas heart and which
carry on her legacy of supporting children and childrens causes.
Thank
you for your support.
