FirstLook: Mobile Library, Java
Ridwan Sururi of Serang Village, central Java, Indonesia, started the Kudapustaka (Horse library), in 2015. Today he visits villages and schools three days a week.
In 2015 Ridwan Sururi of Serang Village, central Java, Indonesia, started the Kudapustaka (Horse library), and since then, three days a week, he has visited villages and schools like Miftahul Huda Islamic Elementary School. On this day he was joined by his two-year-old son, Tria Ramadhan. Together they handed out donated books to the students. As a photographer I did this story because I was also born in a village with difficult access to books. I believe in the power of books, and I know what Mr. Sururi is doing is important.
