Children's Book Boats in Laos
Community Learning International and Luang Prubang Library in Laos have two book boats that hold 1000 children's books that visit over 100 villages along the Mekong river in Laos. The boats go on trips ranging from two weeks to up to a month, stopping in villages and staying overnight so that the children have a chance to read and learn. The staff members also plan learning activities for the children to engage in while they're making their stops and they also leave "book bags" at the schools (usually containing 100 books) so that the students can read different titles during the interim.
Above is a video from Community Learning International about the Laotian Book Boats.
More information can be found on the Community Learning International page and the US Embassy page.
