The Network of Rural Libraries of Cajamarca, for nearly 50 years, has been an example of volunteer work. Year after year we welcome those who, from Peru and different parts of the world, come to our communal house to be part of the daily tasks of the Network.
Some come with curiosity and full desire to get to know the experience; others with altruism and generosity without limits; some who share their knowledge and learn with enthusiasm; others in transit, others who from a distance follow us with commitment and affection. Many others, such as our librarian families and members of the central team, who remain in permanence: they are and continue to persist while still believing in the principles that guide their soul and voluntary heart, which is born of the firm decision to act without expecting reward, sowing and working daily to strengthen the bonds of solidarity, mutual help and communitarianism.
The volunteer of the Rural Library Network of Cajamarca does not diminish his joy, his deep aspiration to share and continue growing as family, asayllu, as we are. As the unforgettable Victor Jara says: “what a beautiful thing it is to be a volunteer; building parks for the neighborhood; building bridges, houses and roads; moving ahead with our destiny!”
