    There’s no better mark of progress toward creating a digital reading movement in the developing world than Worldreader’s annual Digital Reading Summits, which last month brought together hundreds of guests to talk about the future of digital reading.

    But these summits were also a great reminder that any movement is made of individuals. And at the front lines of this digital reading revolution are Worldreader’s project managers, who showed up in full force at both summits in Accra and Nairobi.

    Different than Worldreader staff members, project managers include teachers, librarians and volunteers at each of the 104 e-reading projects Worldreader supports across 12 sub-Saharan African countries. These passionate educators select the best books for their students, spend weeks training and launching their e-reading programs, administer the day-to-day use of the e-readers, and then commit to years of monitoring, support and evaluations.

    Project managers each brought their own learnings, stories, success and challenges to share during the summits. Many took away new ideas and inspiration to take e-reading to the next level in their communities. And our staff members spent hours in between sessions and workshops talking with each project manager, collecting their stories from the field.

    Maurice Mkhotya is the project manager at Chamwino Secondary School, which was sponsored last year by donors Ed Frank and Sarah Ratchye. Chamwino’s e-reading program is relatively new, but the impact Maurice reported at the summit impressed even our veteran project managers.

    As the English teacher at Chamwino, Maurice assigns single books for children to read from the e-readers, and then test them with specific questions about the book to gauge comprehension. Before the e-readers arrived he says 25 percent of students were passing the tests. Most recently, 84 percent of students passed the tests. The difference, Maurice says, is that e-readers have made reading more exciting for the

    Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art is proud to present a showcase of new
    work by Paris-based artist Alëxone.  An opening reception will be held on
    Thursday, May 7th, 2009 from 7.00pm – 10.00pm, at which a new series of
    acrylic, ink and mixed media works on paper will be on display. The
    exhibition will be open for viewing through Thursday, May 28th 2009 from
    1.00pm -7.00pm.
    About Alëxone:

    Born in 1976, Alëxone lives and works in Paris. With a background in
    graffiti, he rose to fame in the early 90s with striking letter-based tags
    of the moniker Oedipus on the streets of Paris. He became Alëxone in 2000,
    when his artwork took a figurative turn.  Since then, his distinctive work
    has won him a reputation far beyond France with exhibitions all over Europe,
    including Paris, Hamburg, Milan, Berlin, London, Amsterdam and Brussels.

    Alëxone’s universe is filled with eccentric, playful characters.  Masked
    penguins, contorted horses, and hairy men with long noses engage and
    entertain in wild, colorful scenes, while wordplay and metaphor create a
    dynamic dialogue between the work and the viewer.

    Alëxone regularly collaborates with other street artists, including members
    of the GM and 9e Concept groups.  Their exhibition at the Pompidou Centre
    last January was the first time street artists have been featured in a
    significant French museum.
