In this edition of the SJSU Magazine, we see the extraordinary impact that can begin with something as simple as a book. Through the iSchool’s Soma Safari initiative, more than 50,000 books have found their way to children and communities in Kenya, opening doors to literacy, imagination and opportunity. But this story is about more than books. It is about building connections across continents, empowering local libraries, supporting educators and creating lasting pathways to learning. What makes this work especially meaningful is the ripple effect. Every book shared has the potential to inspire a reader, strengthen a community and change the trajectory of a young person's future. 📚🌍 Read the story here: https://ow.ly/zwEp50Zfgpj and see how the SJSU community is helping write the next chapter for learners around the world.
