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!
