Book day in Ukambani / by derrick milimo

We got an invite from our friend Tina, to attend a Book Day event  in Ukambani (Machakos County Kenya), that was being hosted by Kenya Connect. Kenya Connect is a learning resource centre in Wamunyu, that supports education in the rural areas of Ukambani. This space, was created for students and teachers, to come and learn about 21st century resources and methods...and boy! They do it well! What is also amazing about this space is, its fully solar powered.
