Author Visits

Sanman Thapa, Nepali-American writer and NYC school counselor, offers author visits for schools and libraries: a 45-minute author talk for grades 9–12, a classroom visit for one period, and a book club/library talk (45–60 minutes), all built around A Fight for a Cup of Chai — child labor, unionization, industry exploitation, and globalization — with a one-page discussion guide provided. 

A Global Studies teacher compared Chai to a modern-day The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. 

Sanman is a registered NYC vendor — ARTI-FACTS PUBLISHING LLC, Vendor Code VS00108940, PIP Active and PASSPort Filed — so NYC schools can hire by DOE purchase order.
