How One Man And His Horse Created A Mobile Library In Indonesia

In Indonesia, one man and his horse have created a walking, braying mobile library to bring books to the remote villages on Java island.

Ridwan Sururi, 42, travels between schools and villages with a tamed wild-horse called Luna who is loaded with boxes of donated books. Sururi named his project Kudapustaka, meaning 'horse library' in Indonesian, according to the BBC .

Illiteracy remains high in the rural heartlands of Central Java, despite huge strides to improve literacy rates across the country. "I love horses, and I want this hobby to bring benefit to people," Sururi told the BBC.
