"The Superpower In You: A Heartwarming Tale of Dreams, Collaboration, and Hope"

In the heart of Mumbai, a cafe with a unique mission has been bustling with excitement, not just in serving coffee but also in serving the dreams of the less fortunate. Bombay to Barcelona Library Café (B2BLC), a social enterprise empowering former street children, recently celebrated the launch of its children's book, "The Superpower In You," an adaptation of Amin Sheikh's biography, "Bombay, Mumbai. Life is Life, I Am Because Of You." This enchanting book, available in English, Spanish, and Catalan, not only captivates young readers but also serves a noble cause.


The Birth of a Superpower:

"The Superpower In You" is not just a book; it's a testament to the power of collaboration and compassion. The project came to life through the dedication of young minds—Ryann Lahiri, a student at Oberoi International School, JVLR campus, and Soundarya Gottapu, a former customer turned valued member of the café team.

Ryann Lahiri, motivated by a desire to make a difference, approached B2BLC to volunteer for her school requirements. Little did she know that her involvement would evolve into something extraordinary. With a heart for the cause, Ryann took on the task of adapting Amin Sheikh's profound life story for children, giving rise to "The Superpower In You." The illustrations, an integral part of the magic, were brought to life by the talented Soundarya Gottapu.


A Cafe Tale of Dreams:

The book launch, held on a delightful evening, was more than just an event—it was a celebration of dreams and the power of community. Amin Sheikh, the visionary behind B2BLC, expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to the project. Aina Pongiluppi and Maite Garcia's exerted tremendous effort in meticulously editing the book, evoking beauty on every page , Kristin Hengberg and Sara Mampel revised the text, and Fátima Martinez and Ana Revilla translated it into Spanish and Catalan.



Amin Sheikh's words reflected the joy of seeing dreams unfold, "Good evening with a big smile. Today's book launch was a delightful event, with wonderful people responding so positively. The upcoming Saturday cafe gathering holds great significance, especially for Ryann, whose incredible support leaves us speechless, and Soundarya, whose beautiful illustrations brought our dream to reality. Aina and Maite Garcia's design work also played a crucial role in bringing this book to life. We're eager to connect with all of you and share our stories with children everywhere."


Proceeds with Purpose:

What makes "The Superpower In You" even more extraordinary is that all proceeds from the book go towards B2BLC's Dream House project. This initiative aims to provide permanent homes for young individuals at the risk of social exclusion, continuing the café's commitment to transforming lives.
