Each week-end, Luis Humberto Soriano, a teacher living in the remote hamlet of La Gloria in the north of Colombia, brings, with the help of his two donkeys 'ALPHA ' and ' BET', the written word and knowledge to communes as secluded as Nueva Granada. With the kids - who ever their parents are peasants or members of FARC, paramilitaries, drug cartels - Luis gives lectures and private tutoring, organizes puppet shows and board game sessions.
