Dozens of storytellers brought books to a favela in Rio de Janeiro last week to encourage reading in an area where the habit is usually unwelcome. Brazil has 13 million people, or 8% of the population, who are unable to read or write. Dozens of volunteers went door to door, delivering the books during the Literature Fair that has been celebrated in Rio for four years. teleSUR
