From 2006, Rickshaw Run has run in India’s streets, among chases, breakdowns and rollovers. Among amateur pilots teams coming from all over the world, in 2015 there was also the great Rust&Dust team: four men from Turin, fans of adventurous races for charity.

The fantastic team Rust&Dust’s adventure will be told in an interactive ebook, which will be released in June for Zandegù, a digital publishing house with a passion for adventurous projects. The ebook, a real multimedial reportage, will be created by students of the Graphic Design academic course, Istituto Europeo di Design in Turin.

This ebook will be on sale in the online shop www.zandegu.it and in the main online bookshops in June. The proceeds will be completely given to SOS INDIA Onlus, a Turin association, which creates permanent buildings and facilities in India and takes care of children schooling.
