He does this by manufacturing very cheap devices (with wifi) costing up to $100.

Now it would be good if an NGO launches a global “A Bookstore for Every Neighboorhood” which is subsidized by government and maintained by the locals.

If only people donate ONE used book for their local Bookstore we’d see literacy miracles!

It’s an amazing organization, and a personal favorite. They do wonderful work. And if you want to keep it closer to home, most libraries have a literacy program.

The programs require that the children recieve about 6 books over a year-long time span.

Because teaching kids to love books is an important step as well.
