June was a good month for m4Lit. We were featured on the BBC for the second time: Steve Vosloo was interviewed on the World Service radio programme Digital Planet (listen live). The episode featured other interesting ICT projects in Cape Town — definitely worth a listen.
The World Bank’s infoDev programme held it’s annual symposium in Washington DC and Steve Vosloo was invited to sit on a panel to discuss the m4Lit project. The symposium was called Clean Green and Mobile – Making Technology Work for the Poor. There was a high level of interest in the project and it’s findings.
The m4Lit project is expanding: our goal is to build a mobile library of stories of multiple genres — called Yoza — that is available to teens not only in South Africa, but ultimately throughout Africa.
Yoza needs a logo — here is the design brief. All comments welcome.
Mobile books the South African way is a piece written by Mandy de Waal in The Daily Maverick about m4Lit.
