A
few days ago, during a brief excursion to the apu Qayaqpuma (whose
mysteries and secrets our brother Alfredo Mires has been studying for
more than 25 years), we met with a large group of children who were
visiting the mountain accompanied by their teachers.
Talking
with them, one of the teachers told us: "I usually organize
these outings with my children every year, because it is very sad
that we are almost never taught to value what is ours."
In
fact, it seems that the price of modernity is borne by the conscience
of the little ones.
We
wholeheartedly congratulate all those who, despite the hardships of
present-day society, make - like these teachers - a fond and fervent
attempt to rescue the traditional values of the Cajamarcan culture.
Happenings
like this remind us that "As we did not know it was
impossible, we did it".
