Philani is a homeless man from Johannesburg, South Africa, and he sells books and gives reviews to earn money.

Philani's reviews are inspiring enough, but even more so is the fact that he gives away children's books for free, because he wants children to develop the habit of reading.

Says Philani: "Reading is not harmful. Thereâ€™s no such thing as harmful knowledge. This thing is only going to make you a better person."
