17、borhoods such as his. New reading material at bookstores is too expensive. There are 19 public libraries in Bogota. It is a city of 8.5 million people. But the libraries tend to be located far away from poorer areas. “This should be in each corner of every neighborhood, in all the towns and all the

18、rural areas,” says Gutierrez. “Books are the poor childrens lifesavers. And that is what Colombia needs.”The 53-year-old Gutierrez has a love of reading that he says comes from his mother.

25、manufactured in Asia to end up on our lunch table for 30minutes.”Since 2016, Bck has been on a mission to rethink disposable chopsticks.
