What is the Bessie Head Heritage Trust?
A The Bessie Head Heritage Trust is a group of volunteers who established the Trust to promote the work and ideas of Bessie Head, both here in Botswana and abroad. We issue periodic newsletters about Bessie-Head-related activities around the world; we assist scholars in their research on Bessie Head; we encourage and support the publication of books about Bessie Head, and we work to ensure that Bessie Head’s works remain in print. We also want to encourage the development of local literature in various genres, and that is why we began this competition.
