Africa Regional Services celebrated its 50th anniversary on June 7th, 2012 at the Hôtel de Talleyrand. The celebratory reception was attended by over 200 American, African, and French contacts from the fields of journalism, publishing, academia, the arts, and government. US Ambassador to France Charles Rivkin's remarks noted the importance of ARS over its long existence, beginning with the Kennedy administration in the early 1960s. Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Bruce Wharton highlighted examples of ARS’s impact on Africa’s future leaders, such as a young readers’ book discussion in Côte d’Ivoire and youth leadership training with an American basketball coach Tommy Davis who travelled to Central African Republic. The reception was held at Embassy Paris’s most historic property, the Hôtel de Talleyrand. |

Nouveaux Horizons Facebook page will inform NH readers young and old, our colleagues at posts, and NH book vendors throughout Francophone Africa and Haiti about new NH books as they are released, it will highlight books on specific subjects, and tell visitors where to purchase or read NH books. It will post news about book events organized locally by Posts, American Corners, book vendors, or other institutions, such as local or international book fairs, book discussions/book donations/book readings, Caravane du livre, etc. The page also features “The minute of English” for English learners and testimonials from NH readers.
This page will be a unique tool to reach out to NH readers and make them more aware of NH books, and to enhance the specific and varied programs that American Cultural Centers and American Corners organize around books. Posts are invited to comment on our page and to reuse the materials. Our hope is that this page will be useful to you and will ultimately bring you more contacts.
