In mid-October I went with Nathalia Quintero, from Colombia, to Cajabamba to give a workshop on reading in coordination with the Local Education Management Unit (UGEL) for teachers in the region.
These alliances are very nice and when we join forces, things always work out much better. And that was also the case this time. Our friends from Cajabamba had helped us a lot, both with the invites, the organization, the logistics and even with the decoration of the workshop environment.
They had chosen and drawn images of our Ñaupas and placed them on the walls.
Among them was a poster of the UGEL Cajabamba with the image of a Ñaupa painted by our Colombian friend Mateo Oquendo, which you can see in our blog in July (The Ñaupa in Colombia).
With Nathalia, we felt beautifully accompanied and we gave our workshop with lots of encouragement, under the smile of Mateo and this Ñaupita.
Art and affection are great bridges in this wide and strange world.
