Mobile Library visits Batang Air Sub-village

Child Friendly Car is a simple mobile library that is designed to reach many children in many places. Children can read books from the library to improve their knowledge.

Batang Air Sub-village is one of Wahana Visi Indonesia's service area in Sajingan Besar Sub District that is visited by the mobile library.

Children and parents welcome the presence of the mobile library. Many children were amazed when the mobile library first came to the sub-village because they had never seen a similar car before.

Children dare to speak when they are asked to share their knowledge after reading books.

A few mothers also read recipe books that showed how to cook or bake cakes. They enthusiastically read the books and some asked whether they were allowed to bring home the books so that they could copy down the recipes.

The children hope that the mobile library will visit their sub-village routinely. The mobile library is expected to soon provide a video player so that the children can also enjoy educational videos.
