On 1st June we had the honor of opening another rural library in the
province of Cajabamba.
Within
the Educational Institution of Quinuacruz, under the direction of
Professor María Milenne Pérez Iglesias, another light emerges and
joins the humble and vibrant family of our Network of Rural Libraries
of Cajamarca.
Arriving
at school the children welcomed us with their warm hugs and songs
written by themselves. The teaching team shone with enthusiasm as
they shared with us their hopes of igniting the joy of reading and
the pride of the ancestral culture in the hearts of their students.
We
were presented with the space that is being prepared to house the new
books. However, as we looked out across the stunning landscape in
which the school is situated, we imagined the rich experience of
reading under a tree overlooking the immense green valley: bringing
the books out to encounter the nature that inspired them.
Congratulations
to the leadership of the principal and her teaching team, and our
gratitude to Soledad Álvarez for carrying the torch from her
previous school to light the fire in this one.
