Ayoka and the Biblioburro - Colombia

Ayoka has just returned from La Gloria, Colombia where we had an amazing experience following Luis and his donkey Alfa for a few days. Luis is an extraordinary man, waking at 5 am every week-end to bring some joy to the kids who wait for him impatiently. Whether in a farm surrounded by pigs and chickens or under a beautiful tree in the middle of nowhere, Luis sets up his improvised library and lets young and old alike dream through the tales he tells before allowing each one to borrow a book of their choice.

His sole motivation are the smiles he receives in return and the hope that educated children may have more opportunities growing up. He was an inspiration for all of us who had the chance to meet him and we hope our film can give him the recognition he deserves. Now on to the editing...
