September 2016: DreamAfrica

Name: Franco Abott Location:New York, NY Twitter/IG:  @ wedreamafrica Google Play Store:  DreamAfrica Our September feature of the month is here and I could not be any happier.  This fell in my lap at a perfect time; as September is back to school for a lot of our youngings.

So peep,  DreamAfrica™ is a digital African-themed platform that delivers engaging and educational family friendly storybooks, audiobooks, music and videos/animations.
