Maria Luisa Learns and Teaches: Despite the tremendous development of tourism over the past ten years, despite the experiences and impressions of millions of people who visit foreign countries and sometimes foreign continents every year as tourists, students, for business, scholars or journalists are our knowledge of everyday life of people living in distant countries is still poor. Could the traveler who sees the mountains of wonderful vegetables on the market of a large South American city imagine vegetable growers who do not know how to prepare carrots, peas or spinach; six-headed families who own a large house but only a drinking glass, because no one has ever drawn their attention to the harmful effects of health when six people drink from the same glass at meal time; women who don't know how to cook rice, etc...

The Newspaper That "Breeds" Readers: Illiteracy is a major obstacle to the countries of Latin America on the path to overall cultural and economic progress and forms a barrier to the development of the newspaper industry. A demand for general education is perceived as an urgent necessity in all countries. Governments are using funds wherever available to fight against illiteracy. Private companies as well as international organizations are also providing aid to the governments and local communities of Latin America.

The percentage of illiterate people here, as in all other countries, is very high, especially among the rural population. Despite their mass illiteracy, the large masses show an increasing hunger for education. Lectures and documentari
