Monica Mulenga strongly believes that literacy is the cornerstone to a child\u2019s education and that
\neducation can give a child the opportunity to develop themselves and achieve a higher standard of
\nliving. Accordingly, she creates literacy projects to encourage a \u201cYes, I can\u201d attitude within schools
\nthat rubs off on both children and teachers alike.<\/p>\n

Before joining the Book Bus, Monica graduated from the University of Zambia (UNZA) with a BSc in
\nNatural Resources and worked for several years within Zambia\u2019s huge copper mining industry. She
\nfirst volunteered with The Book Bus Foundation (UK) in 2010, and in 2014 founded The Book Bus
\n(Zambia) to develop a literacy support programme specifically for schools in Zambia to promote the
\njoy of reading in both local language and English. The Book Bus (Zambia) now operates a mobile
\nliteracy support service that provides training, books and library resources to schools throughout the
\ncountry.<\/p>\n
