Bringing the library to Lesotho
Ha Nqabeni schoolkids by Fihliwe (cc by)
A really great comment on what it means to have online courses, wikipedia, and universities moving towards universal access for the farthest flung villages filled with those that yearn for study:
The author may not see it, but we are living through a great renaissance right now. There are certain types of minds -- very creative, very determined, and very thirsty for knowledge -- that we as a race have wasted for years. A thousand Einsteins have lived and died in a thousand remote villages, far from the libraries they needed. They don't have to do that any more.
We finally brought the library to them.
