  • Well, this video makes me feel lucky to have what I have.

  • Also, the big challenge for a free library service is having to pay the increasingly high rents in Ethiopia. So school libraries (taking books to where the kids are and there is space) and donkey libraries work well.

  • You realize the impossiblilities of having a car and getting gas in that country?

  • that is really cool and there is also a columbian man who does the same thing. But i think they should use a van or some other car.

  • I am proud of you!!
