"WHEN YOU GET,GIVE.

WHEN YOU LEARN,TEACH".

Maya Angelou

MOBILE LIBRARY
Whether you find yourself sitting in an international airport waiting for your connecting  flight, in lockdown in the field due to clashes between state and armed rebels, or taking some time out for yourself, reading is truly one of lifes simple pleasures. 
 
Yep all you need is a great book, a creative imagination and you're all set to go!
 
If you're old school like me and love nothing more than the smell and feel of a book in your hands, giving up 5-10kgs for that perfect book wherever your destination is in the world is always worth it. I remember my father thinking I was crazy that Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina made my final luggage cut for my 2 year deployment to Afghanistan, over items that most people would consider essential!  Ahh the beauty of mastering simple living. 
 
Sharing is caring, so here are some of my favorites both old and new, across the sphere of wellness and aid and development. If you have book you think others would like let us know so we can add it to the mobile library!
 
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have.
