Camilo García , the good news professor

Tired of the media disclosing only negative news , he is dedicated to collecting positive news.

He is a professor of religious and moral education , profession to which he has dedicated his life . 

His days pass between the time of God school and public Republic of Guatemala , where no longer teach their students to read success stories is the first step to realize that it is possible to get ahead.

"I got tired of seeing only negative news and a bad image of Colombia abroad thanks to serials and movies. 

That's very bad for young people , "said Professor of Bogotá and great-grandparents and grandparents in Gauteng residents .

One day he decided to make his students began to cut positive news, and to his surprise, a simple task cost them work. 

" I played almost mark them which was the news that served them ," he says .

So headlines like ' Nobsa donned a poncho 120 meters ', ' A father who evangelizes with reggaeton ' or ' set in London Colombians ' began to fill them with positive experiences. " 

When they left class began to discuss ' the blind see , how a scholarship won ' or 'just came to Hollywood actor ' or ' how a Colombian designed so a Peugeot ' . That's gratifying, " he says.

Then put to do the same exercise for arriving late and lost their classes , and thus guaranteed that take advantage of the time reading and filled with positive experiences. 

" They like the stories of people with disabilities who are able to get ahead, as the Colombian who climbed Everest ," he says .

Thanks to this year , has already completed four albums that have no purpose other than to instill in his students that " life is beautiful but not easy."

All this crazy idea to supplement with other exercises, as students write eighty things that make them happy , yes, creatively. 

" I'll never forget when a girl wrote me : ' getting to bed my mom and my dawn ' , but not everyone has something nice to remember or are filled with pessimism," she recalls.

Also ask them to cut the published news that day they were born and have publicly what happened, and even placed their alumni who achieved success in life to explain how they got them . 

" I work hard so they know the history of the country, to fall in love with Colombia ," he says .

Note that each book has its name : Gospel Colombia , this is much better or how there Yes and yes there with whom, that the sports section is what generates the best news and politics, the most negative .

Bogotá so loves putting his students to read the book collection of the wind , but not least , compiles stories that investigate students to assemble books . "I ask to talk to their grandparents and mouths that know the history of their city ," he says .

So , you know the saying ' leave to the club ' is not send someone away , but refers to a log laying in beds to tie the dog , hence , too, the word ' thump ' . 

All this I have found students delving into his family past . "I refining stories, print and pasted . I also have the best draw the illustrate "he adds.

Daniela Valero, his former student , working with him for years because, well, good students Camilo work and rewards them with a small payment for their efforts , even has some award winning studio with helping with money coming out of your pocket. 

"The condition is that I do not lose no matter what ," he said .

To this man took her to his parents on a tour of Boyacá. 

Camilo closes the huge books with satisfaction the work accomplished, which is revealed in his face. 

What more payment you give him a reason to live for the youth .
