Operating in Kenya’s isolated Northeastern Province near the unstable border with Somalia, the camel “bookmobile” carries books to children and adults throughout the area. Masha Hamilton, author of THE CAMEL BOOKMOBILE (due out in April of 2007) walked through the bush with a real camel bookmobile and has started a book drive called Authors for African Literacy, but the donations aren’t just limited to authors. I’m sending a box of books. If you want to help, visit Authors for African Literacy to find out how.

There are also some excellent pictures linked on the site that show the camel bookmobile in action.
