Mekong River Library Boat

Today we watched a video about the Mekong Library Boat. This is a charity that provides a mobile library for children that wouldn't otherwise get to read books, children in remote villages that don't have books.

Wolves howl in the night like dogs having a giant evil disco. The smell of old wet wood and dead things rotting hits my nose like I’m stuck in a garbage dump.
