What’s black and white and red all over? A book, a newspaper and a zebra with a sunburn.
This is the joke that inspired the name for The Red Zebra Project.
“We like to think of Red Zebra as an organization that helps black and white to be read all over,” said David Ker, founder of the organization.
Even though the name is something to be laughed about, the organization is no joke.
Its main goal is to distribute scripture and children’s books in African languages.
Ker and his wife had been working with Wycliffe Bible Translators for 17 years where they translated the Bible for the people of Mozambique.
