Meet Martin Murillo, the Colombian visionary turning streets into classrooms! As part of CGTN America’s Portraits of Latin America series, we dive into Murillo’s inspiring journey to promote literacy by hauling a cart of books through Cartagena’s neighborhoods. His ‘library on wheels’ isn’t just about books—it’s about breaking barriers in a country where access to education remains uneven.
For years, Murillo has navigated bustling markets and quiet alleyways, offering free reads to kids and adults alike. \"Every book is a seed,\" he says. \"When someone picks one up, they’re planting a future.\" His grassroots effort has become a cultural lifeline, especially in communities where libraries are scarce.
From dog-eared novels to textbooks, the cart’s ever-changing inventory reflects Cartagena’s diversity. Murillo’s next goal? Partnering with schools to create pop-up reading hubs. \"Imagine a city where stories find you,\" he grins. Talk about #Goals!
