A Camel walked into a library . . .

The Camel Book Drive is a totally rad book donation/distribution program in Kenya. Traveling by camel, the library journeys through Kenya's northeastern province setting up temporary shop under trees. It brings books to a semi-nomadic people who live with drought, famine and chonic poverty. The books are spread out on grass mats beneath an acacia tree, and the library patrons, often barefoot, sometimes joined by goats or donkeys, gather with great excitement to choose their books until the next visit. The book drive is always accepting books and it only costs $23 to send a 5 lb. box of books to Kenya. You can send your donations to: Garissa Provincial Library For Camel Library Librarian in Charge, Rashid M. Farah P.O. Box 245 Garissa, Kenya To donate books or find out more check out The Camel Book Drive. Be sure to check out the video too! Via Galleycat.
