IAM is seeking funding for the development of a physical and virtual literary enhancement program that will develop "coffee house literary enclaves" for book lovers, authors and aspiring writers.Throughout modern history, the coffee house has been a gathering place for writers, artists, intellectuals and statespersons. It was at these warm and inviting establishments that great literary geniuses and wisdom keepers of the age would exchange ideas, give poetry and fiction readings, exhibit their latest art work and enjoy a unique spirit of camaraderie.
Thus, it was in this "kitchen table" environment where great statespersons, inspired by poets, journalists and novelists,formulated their plans for developing some of the world's most important humanitarian projects that ultmately led to creating a better world.
The project will include outreach creative writing workshops to prisons, shelters, hospitals, Assisted Living Facilities, Drug Rehab Centers and other institutions where people have limited access to writing and reading programs.
The IAMF will also build a large virtual "online coffee house" where individuals throughout the world can share their written works.
