Why is your aspect ratio messed up? And ya, Donkey. Amazing.
Explain how the Dewey Decimal system works here. How?
Great story.
This man must be some kind of saint.
We need links on your video’s of how to contribute to things like this. I have seen many videos I would love to give a little to help and never can! We need rocketboom charity!
Definately!
I’ve never contributed for anything! But after warching this video, I really would like to do something! As direct as possible, better than trough organizations I can’t relate to.
Hi, if you would like to make a direct donation to Luis, please contact me via my website http://www.ayokaproductions.org and I’ll be happy to give you all the info. Thanks!(I produced the video).
how sweet of that man to devote his life to educating the kids of the future
I just hope no one starts a fire where the books are stored.
i loved this i really really did it was an amazing stroy really inspring how everyone can make a difference
Great video great man.
That guy kicks ass! And the ass is cool for holding everything.
Is there any way we can donate to this guy? I’d gladly work overtime for a week and give all my earnings to this cause.
Matman16 rocks!
thats just wounderfly beautiful that some one would do that for kids!
i know! they really need to do that. if only i could give 20 dollars to each movement we see on here
Donkey looks pretty tired, but a great documentary nonetheless! Humanwire FTW
at first, i was like “WTF a donkey library?” but i got the warm fuzzies by the end of this.
So he wants to push his morality upon the children, eww.
Thats really cool. I tried to understand without the subtitles but didn’t work out to well
Well that’s actually… A pretty clever idea 0.0
i dont care about this thrid world bullshit. more molly, less poor people
you’re a frakking idiot. 200 years ago the United States was a Third World country too. (no thanks to you…)
To: thebober10….sir you are a “dumbass” and a retard
this applies to all teachers be it on purpose or accident, we are molded by our teachers, by the way they see the world, but giving people choices and the right 2 information we can change our views :D
apart from his god complex he’s preaching a decent gospel, one that may not be actually holly but useful for that region…
you could, if you wanted enough
wtf!! this is hilarious! i love how she says “remote parts of the world”
write to rocketboom, use Google, get his address, use the post office ;)
I watched one kid swing around a coke bottle; that’s where their civillized-world assistance should come from.
He could use that to his advantage hardcore, more than the satisfaction of spreading “knowledge.”
there are miracles in this world, he is one of them!
A truly incredible and inspirational story; It’s heartwarming to see someone who is willing to work so hard to bring literature to children who might not otherwise have it.
Moondonkey Alfa!
molly, you are hot!
Poor donkey…
lol i paused it at 0:03 and it looks like shes gona sneeze or is getting licked
Donkey p0wns illiteracy
This is awesome.
i just wish he’d organize those books for his comfort
also i feel so so sorry for the donkey
Sometimes you see something that makes you feel better about the world.
I’m an American that says “FUCK READING!” I’ll be playing Modern Warfare 2 on Live, while you be reading and shit!
u fail retard
this is cool (:
Less books, more Molly. : )
cool story bro
What a beautiful human being.
que
iv already sent him a message on facebook asking how i can donate :)
I wanna buy him a van.
I’ll be looking forward to asking you what I want on my burger in a few years friend.
Heart Warming (:
Sad that donkey was like why do i have to carry all the books and your lazy ass?
You’re just an american that takes their wonderful opportunities to learn and get an education for granted.
But it’s cool; I don’t expect much more from someone with an IQ lower than room temperature.
kudos to you…a well thought out response.
very nice
he’s awesome
That video seriously made me emo.
What a outstanding man.
Library Dude is a badass^^
coz he gets food and shelter in return.. now stfu.
All hail the Book Donkey!
Awesome!! I’m suprised the kids can read though, but that’s okay, because thay can. He should get a Nobel Peace prize!
this is great! good for him!
She has her own channel. If you just want Molly videos go there.
This is absolutely brilliant :)
This guy’s a real visionary.. Thanks rocketboom for creating awareness..
This is beautiful, this man is awesome!
wow that’s really really great! made my day! XD
Quiz Question # 1: Who rode in on a donkey after teaching other people?
Answer Region:
First time a Rocketboom episode brought me to tears.
What an amazing man.
This is truly inspirational.
(spanish) Esto es como ” one-laptop-peer-child”..pero con pocos recursos.. la verdad es que cualquier ayuda es agradecida…. y es una grandiosa manera de ser recordado..
What a great guy!
Jesus?
Thing like this give me the hope we humans can make this a beautifull world.
I love this kinda thing!
wow, i thought kindness was dead
Who rode in on a Donkey after teaching other People? Well, Jesus, LOL.
LMFAO!!!!
i got a tiny teardrop in my eye at the end of this video
…just so theres no confusion, i was chopping onions while watching >.>
What Rocketboom manages to do with these overseas videos is to reveal the shallowness of our present day cultural interests. Maybe the younger generation watching these images will be inspired to something more with their lives given the incredible opportunities we have. If us mere Babyboomers sent a man to the moon imagine what the Rocketboomers can do?
Maybe the Columbian drug cartel could part with a few million and build libraries with bookshelves in each community. Afterall, it would be spare change in their “books”.
Or the kind-hearted Jeff Bezo of Amazon could provide all these kids with a free Kindle so they can store hundreds of books and they could live happily ever happy, just like Minnie & Me.
Mickey Mouse
1st!!!
very cool concept theyre doing. I love when rocket boom covers stories like this!
such a beautiful story….why does Rocketboom always do good stuff yet on the other side….they have Memes….
poor donkey
That’s a beautiful thing.
omfg will there ever b a time on you tube were there is not an idiot saying ”
FIRST” all the f@$%ing time >:(
Nope. First.
hey Firster….stfu!!!!
I’m fairly certain if more books came on donkeys, a lot more kids would read.
That’s fantastic!
2nd!
good stuff.
don’t think so bro. the video is a repost, on the last one i answered that this guy should get a nobel peace prize. but now i was first, so that was more important.
That man is a hero. Without question.
i hate being second. :-(
He truly is a hero
pobre burro jeje
This site featured the story as well and you can contact them regarding helping Luis Soriano.
http://www.ayokaproductions.org/content/biblioburro-donkey-library
http://www.ayokaproductions.org/content/donation-and-sponsorship
I just wrote them myself and I hope they respond soon.
This man is doing the Lord’s work. !Vaya con Dios, mi amigo! Vaya con Dios.
The burro would probably prefer light reading.
This man is a hero no doubt
Everybody should have access to a library. If this dude setup a way to donate, I would, and if I ever find myself in La Gloria, Columbia I would gladly donate my time to help.
It’s like that dog in “We Are Klang”
After Israel and Egypt Colombia is the third recipient of military aids from the US govenment. The rationale is the anti-drug war, but the true reason is the support to a government that has one of the gloomiest records of human rights violations on the planet. When Luis Soriano Bohorquez says in the video that if people knew their rights wouldn’t go to war it’s highlly probable that he’s talking about the war of Colombian army (and paramilitary squads) against its own population of farmers and Indios.
Good video. The donkey deserves some credit as well.
I know you are full of good intentions, but don’t talk about stuff you don’t fully comprehend.
The colombian problems are REALLY complex and the paramilitary squads are just a part of it.
I won’t assume you are as full of shit as you may appear by instructing me about what I can talk about and what I can’t, but I speak a very good spanish and I read Mexican, Venezuelan and Colombian press on daily basis. And just in case you are a fan, bunch togheter Alvaro Uribe and Juan Manuel Santos and go fuck yourself along with them. If you aren’t my apologies.
I’m sorry. Didn’t know you were as informed as you are. You even know the name of the president! I’ll start to read news from my own country on a daily basis to understand it.
I’ll call Uribe and Santos to see is we can bunch together to fuck ourselfs. Whatever that means…
Is there anything you want me to say to them?
Nope, like the main character of this video you already made an ass of yourself. And just because a pendejo like yourself learns a less patronizing attitude I have been long translating both in italian and english language letters and documents by senator Piedad Cordoba and “Los Colombianos por la paz”
Ayokaproductions.org responded to me:
The best way to help Luis is to send money through Western Union - you
can do it online via credit card by going to :
https://wumt.westernunion.com
Then you just have to enter the receiver’s country and Luis’ name,
Soriano (last name), and Bohorquez (maternal name).
He will be able to get the money from any Western Union in Colombia.
However, please do keep me updated so I can pass on the information as
he may need to provide the sender’s info, money transfer control number, etc..
The money you send will greatly help him furnish the library and
install a proper door to keep the books safe.
If you would like to send him books, you can send them to his address in
Valledupar -
{Address omitted by me, if you want to get it just contact ayokaproductions.org website}
I would advise to send anything through private courier to play it
safe as Colombia is not known for the efficiency of its postal
services.
Any books are welcomed, though particularly children books in Spanish..
Thank you so much for your help,
Valentina

This is that we must call a true human….
YEAH! How can I do something? At least donate a book to him?
5 stars that man is a hero, everyone should SHOW this vid to ONE PERSON, and rate this vid 5 stars, it deserves it
sucks to be a donkey
That’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. That dude has like five books and rides a donkey.
Probably molests the kids…and the donkey.
That man should have your respect, education is the most important thing for the advancemant of human knowlage and socital porgress
Well its good to see at least someone there doing something to help…Only that erhm…That donkey seems overloaded : / it would have been better if there were 2 donkies- 1 with the boocks- and 1 with him.
PS:”HisRoyalDudeliness” go choke on a dick and shut the fuck up.
I laughed so hard I fell out of my seat. :O
You’re an idiot.
Enough said.
Another brand new video on the priceless contribution by donkeys to education of children who live in difficult situations: what about to start a petition to award the donkeys for the 2010 Peace Nobel Prize?
Boy you’ve really bought into the libtard propaganda machine hook, line and sinker Leo-tardo. With the billions of dollars donated by the world to the palestinians over the years why do they still ride on donkeys? Ask why Yasser never built a schoolhouse or a library or sewers for that matter, let alone buses to go to school? He died with 5 billion dollars stashed in a Swiss bank account. People like you who are so ignorant, it makes me want to cut off my Mickey ears so the crap you spew doesn’t resonate inside my brain.
This is your second post where you take aim at Israel, even though this story was about Columbia, a library and education. Man, you need some serious help.
Oooh noo “anotalreadytakenname” sais im an idiot, what ever shall i do?
Look ya faggot, I dont know if your mom droped you when you were a baby or something, but let me just say : Youve turned out to be a real douche.
Ok now it realy is enough said…asshole…
you are a cunt
1:05 i was like: cribs, poor style!!!
that was one of the best ever. books are so important. i buy more books than anything else. very cool.
haha i agree thats funny
Inspiring
17 seconds of Pure Molly
Thought the same :P
Biblioburro is my new favorite word.
Who reads books anyway , i hate them lol
hmmmm…guess your IQ must equal to a doorknob
5°.
He deserve a nobelprice
It’s Colombia, you immense faggots, not Columbia; that guy is not in one of your fucking states, lrn2spell.
Anyways, +fuckin five because I love my country.
in 3:44, the 2nd kid from the right looks like obama…
What a nice guy. =D
Just pure KUDOS :) That man has a Vision, a good intension.
No.
I’m not from USA. And Columbia isn’t a state dumbfuck.
Agreed..
we have the internet…
Internet FTW…!!!
awesome guy
if everyone had this guy’s intentions and commitment…well, you know
i love molly
Cities, state, counties, whatever the fuck it is, but my country’s name isn’t spelled the same.
I didn’t know mexicans could read. thanks for the school.
lol
Go Luis. Thanks molly
Thats in Columbia you idiotic bigot.
Great. What a Great Story Rocketboom.
This is what you call doing the best with what you’ve got, Biblioburro FTW!
I feel sorry for the donkey…
I love you MEME MOLLY one day we shall be together and make awesome ummm talk i guess lol
poor donkey. that man should get off and walk…
Touching …
what a lovely man.
life is amazing. this guy gets it.
How mature of you to vote my reply down. Also you don’t need to get mad, you are not going to change the world by picking on someone spelling a word wrong, not even your country. Get a life will you.
because all work and no fun makes Jack a dull boy.
Wow, what a nice/smart guy, hopefully his school gets built, start many others and helps many kids learn.
COLOMBIA… not Columbia
Where does he get the money to do this? 8 hours of donkey riding a day, plus he is building his own library. wow
fucking badass
frikin pimp!!
What a good guy. Thats a true teacher there
Ok
I live in Colombia (not mexico, no columbia). So, if you really want to help this guy I can find him and ask him what he needs. He obviously needs construction materials and stuff for the new place, a way of organizing the book he already have and more book (in Spanish).
@Charles2337 said he wanted to buy him a van, but that won’t work because of the topology of the region. A second donkey would be nice do.
Anyway, if you are ready to go beyond the comments, contact me (twitter @cli_ninja).
For now I’ll try to find it and send him some books I was going to sell in the used market.
Hi Juan and anyone who wants to help. I’m the producer of this segment. If you would like to help Luis and the Biblioburro please contact me via my website http://www.ayokaproductions.org and I’ll be happy to give you more information.
biblioburro!! this guy is awesome
What an awesome human being.
Awesome, I hope his library works out so he has more room in his house. XD
Awesome. Pure awesome.
should be more people like him. books are great but the idea of laptops for each child in the third world is a better idea. books are heavy. disks n downloads are probably easier
My teacher was talking about this. The day this was uploaded that is.
it is in fact a good idea, but you need to consider that it is only good to have a laptop if you knew what a book is first. Also it is not that affordable, and many books cannot be found in the internet. Besides, laptops have to be renewed over the time, and the most important thing, these people barely have electricity sometimes. they do not have money for internet, internet does not reach these places. they have no idea what a computer is. Their parents dont know how to read
lol! libradonkey!
I think this comes from years of saving money and charitable contributions from other people. If I had the money I would get him a truck to reach other places away from there and to be able to continue this project even if it rains, it looks like it rains a lot there because of the colour of the grass. Lol.. 8 hours of donkey riding a day.. thats painful
Goes to show how many Americans, not all, take education for granted.
This guy is truly a good human being
3:03 barak obama?
you guys find the most random and awesome stuff ever
This guy RULES. Good for him!
this is great!
this guy is absolute amazing! i wouldn’t be able to ride that donkey for 8 hours.
What’s with you and sucking dicks purepoison?
I contend I am not, but I’ll tell you what I’m not for sure. A donkey fucking child molester with five books.
Fun Fact: In ColOmbia they do not have bookshelf technology. The more you know.
This entire video is an advertisement for Dell. So much product placement.
I love great educators.
whats with you and chocking on them herroyalbitchness? dumb dick get a life and stop spamming telling everyone what a faggot you are, and i bet youre a fucking 20-25 year old shithead that just likes to chose 1 video and spam the hell out of it, damn dude youre realy lonely, i kinda actually feel sorry for you.Trying to make me feel bad over a pathetic comment?Ah forget it, no point in name calling anymore, so yeah im just gonna stop replying to you because you clearly cant talk without swearing
Hahaha, you mad bro?
Fascinating, tell us more.
The world is a better place because of people with hearts of gold like this fellow. Thanks a lot Rocketboom
This man is one of the most amazing men in the world… this is so touching :)
I hope he can get his library finished and help all the children.

If only the donkey were “Mister Ed” (the talking horse from TV shows) - then the horse could read to the kids too!
this is amazing!
Absolutely!
I am inspired.
I wish I could meet this man.
I donated 200$ of my money and I’m pretty poor but it was worth it and I hope the library is built.
that man is so nice he takes his time to build a library
wow that man is amazing, how can we help?
this is a great thing he’s doing, but I wish he wouldn’t ride on the donkey! The poor thing stumbles along trying to walk!
I think he should defiitely put on a backpack and walk next to the donkey - more books could be taken, and the donkey would be in less pain = everyone wins.
Or, he could get all the funds to build the library. ^^
Hey Molly.. I love how on Rocketboom you wear such conservative and “proper” outfits, but your Natural Beauty comes Busting Thru!
it actually doesnt hurt the donkeys. its like going to the gym for them
I like this man’s work, I’m from Colombia, I love my country, but just for the record, stop thinking this country is only poberty, what this video shows is the work of this man where technology and more nowadays stuff has reached yet, and actually donkeys are really useful animals in such places. Colombia is the greatest country, the only risk is wanting to stay.
hat guy is amazing! !! I’m very inspired because that video shows me how people like this guy with not so many things can do So much and people with many things can do less
icequeen9: Don’t worry the donkey can handle it. Their backs are stronger than that of horses and I think even camels. It would only be detrimental if he were travelling tens of kilometres and the donkey was malnourished. =)
Nice video, guys! Molly you good!
Thats a nice guy right there. Especially in Colombia that is rare in some places.
oh my gosh how AMAZING!!!
thaatscright go and do some good ,,,massage me the address i send him some money ,,,
is a 8 hour ride icequeen9 , that would be hard , and don’t worry the donkey can take this kind of work .
your right , should get some funds to buy a lil car or some thing else to transport more books.
Yeah the donkey appeared to be happy and healthy, so he’s got no problem carrying all those books ^_^
I think Camels and Donkeys are equal in how much they can carry though. Only difference being where they’re located in the world.
I lived close to the school and never think about the way to help kids. I really appreciate the teacher to devote himself to helping and educating people.
simply amazing!
Epaaaa viva Colombia
