Zev Lowe, our fearless Director of Research, is in Nairobi today, setting up 65 e-readers for our partnership with The Kilgoris Project.  We’ve been watching the excitement unfold in real-time, on twitter, and we want to share the energy and excitement with you.

Shadrack Lemiso smiles at the sight of so many e-readers

Remember Shadrack Lemiso, the educator who found a long lost book on Zev’s e-reader?  He’s there helping out along with his brother and many others…including Sara Rhyne, our video contest winner.  Worldreader would like to thank iHub and all the volunteers who helped make “Books for All” one step closer to a reality today.
