Yoshimi Horiuchi, the blind bookaholic from Japan

Yoshimi connects books to people and people to books. After the kanthari scholarship, she started “Always Reading Caravan”, a unique nonprofit that brings books, fun, and hope to rural communities in Northern Thailand. A mobile library for children and adults, both with, and without disabilities in rural Thailand, founded by a Japanese woman who happens to be blind. For Yoshimi, books are important, but more important are the people reading these books. She sees reading as a tool to connect people and also to connect people to society.
