A while back I shared a campaign to raise money for a series of children's books called Where’s Funky Monkey. The book has been designed to encourage children to
explore some of the most amazing places around the world. Destinations in the
book include the Taj Mahal, the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Wall of China,
the Pyramids of Giza and Machu Picchu in Peru.
The campaign has been opened again but is now nearing it's end. You can go here to donate if you get the chance in the next few hours insh'Allah.

About the Book:
Readers have to look for Funky Monkey, his friends and a series of items in each colourful page spread. Each spread also has facts and references to local culture and wildlife.
The person behind the idea, Osmaan Mahmood, is currently looking for crowd funding to make the books a reality. He describes the reason why he wanted to create the book:
"I believe stories and tales are one of the strongest influences during our formative years. Everyone has a book that made the world seem exciting and full of possibilities. My aim is for Where’s Funky Monkey to be that book for the next generation."
Osmaan is currently looking to raise funds viaKickstarter. The goal is to raise £500 to pay for editing, printing and to pay illustrators. You can go here to contribute and see what you get for your pledge. The Kickstarter page also has a timeline, risks and FAQ's. It's an all or nothing campaign, so the project will only be funded if it reaches its goal of £500 by 27th April 2017.
