The priest at the microphone is Father Joaquin Salcedo whose broadcasts teach some 12,000 Colombian peasants how to read, write, and to improve their daily lives. To many of his avid listeners in remote receiving centers, his voice brings the first formal education they have ever known. Father Salcedo's idea has caught the interest of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco). Experts from the agency will join forces with him to expand the program and plan for an international center of education by radio in Colombia.
