Luis Soriano, a schoolteacher in Colombia, is so dedicated to spreading knowledge that he packs books into his country's bandit-ridden mountains via burro, teaching kids in remote villages to read and to love learning. His "Biblioburro" is low-cost, high-risk and a huge hit with rural kids. Luis is proud that he started with 70 books, and now has almost 5,000.
