Collaborative Effort Brings an Offline Digital Library to The Jirani Project!
The Jirani Project has launched an exciting new collaborative project with Engineering students at Arizona State University – an offline digital library in our new office in Lumakanda, Western Kenya!
Undergraduate students in the Engineering Projects in Community Services (EPICS) worked for the past year to design a durable, offline device to store many volumes for use by our Jirani children and the larger community.
Through funding from Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Madison, Wisconsin, in their Giftaway program, we were able to purchase 8 new tablets that Mark Okello and friends of JP brought to Kenya for use in the library. Photos show children using the digital library in its early weeks.
