To date, LEARN has donated more than 77000 books, established 21 school libraries and placed 303 book corners in schools and organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Although writing children&#8217;s books was never something she set out to do, it was almost inevitable that she would, one day.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ve always loved writing and journaling and value the impact words can have when used wisely and kindly.<\/p>\n<p>I am proudly South African and absolutely love children\u2019s books. As The LEARN Project grew, so did our need for books. We could no longer just rely on donated books due to the number of library transformations every year.<br \/>\nI started looking for books that were relevant to South African children, but a limited selection was available. I guess that\u2019s where the seed was planted for this little dream,\u201d she says, smiling.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26381\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/Ros-and-children-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/>Having always valued &#8216;story time&#8217; at night with her children, Ros says it was while she was lying in bed with her little one, making up stories together, that she drafted the first versions of her books. Her first book is called The Rumbling Rhino. \u201cI realised quite quickly that my style of writing was rhyme-based and the words just flowed naturally out of me.\u201d Her second book is called Under The Boabab Tree.<\/p>\n<p>Although she had the books edited and illustrated quite quickly, Ros says she waited until the right moment presented itself to publish them. \u201cI was very clear about my &#8216;why&#8217; for writing these books. I am passionate about wildlife and conservation and that&#8217;s also why I wanted the illustrations to be realistic and not animated. After the books were ready, I decided to push &#8216;pause&#8217; and wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, almost serendipitously, her books were discovered by Penguin Book publishers and were on the shelves less than six months later. The first print run sold out in a few months.<br \/>\nWhile she has had incredible success with both her non-profit and her writing, the road hasn&#8217;t always been easy and Ros has weathered a few storms, including going through a divorce.<\/p>\n<p>But it was in these difficult times, she says, that she discovered her true strength.<br \/>\n\u201cI think a lot of who I am today are qualities that were refined through the fire. I\u2019ve realised that sometimes strong is who we become through the fire. That change and trials can show us a deep inner strength we never realised we had. That tenacity, grit and determination can pull us through the messy middle and that in the breaking there can be a beautiful remaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ros&#8217;s most recent project is a platform she created called She Is Rising, where she shares inspiring quotes and poetry to help other women navigate their way through life&#8217;s trials. \u201cI began journaling while I was going through my own storm, and that was when I found my strength and decided to lean into the gifts God has given me and share them with others.\u201d<br \/>\nRoslynne will soon be hosting journaling and vision-board retreats in the Umhlanga area, where she will guide other women towards finding their own &#8216;why&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/roslynnewrites\/\">rosylnnewrites<\/a>, @sheis.rising, @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thelearnproject\/\">thelearnproject<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> Leah Shone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passionate about bringing books and reading to children all over South Africa and determined to help other women navigate life\u2019s storms, author, non-profit trust founder and mother, Roslynne Toerien has found her life\u2019s purpose. \u201cIf you know your purpose and your &#8216;why&#8217;, you can withstand anything,\u201d says single mother of three, Ros.
