Luis Soriano is a primary school teacher in the Magdalena region of Colombia.  Some decades ago he realized many of his students weren't completing homework because they didn't have access to books.  He started Biblioburro (Donkey Library) with his two donkeys, Alpha and Beto.  He rides Alpha and Beto carries the library.  Together they travel twice a week from village to village giving children, and adults, access to books.
