When Hope Whispers contributor Cherise Wyneken brought us her gripping and inspirational story, Back From The Brink, we knew she was a talented writer and author.  But she is also an active philanthropist involved with literacy issues.  Her group, GivingBooks2Kids.com donates children’s books to various organizations giving books to kids and to Third World countries in need of books for libraries, churches, schools, and friends.  Proceeds from her book, Spaceship Lands In Africa, go to the cause.
