‘There is no knowledge that is not power’
‘
In the country of Colombia there are Biblioburros, or ‘Book Donkeys’. It all started when Luis Sorino, the only man with books in his small community, decided to repurpose his donkeys. Instead of carrying water they carried his books to local children. He also renamed them to Alpha and Beto.
Despite being held at gun point, warned to not organize pesants, and losing a leg in an accident, Luis continues his work. He is a true hero.
In my travels around the world I often see community gardens, libraries, and even workshops set up by groups, or individuals. They always warm my heart and give me hope for humanity.
