For Marciano

A few weeks ago we received the sad news that Marciano Amaya Pretel, from Anriqsha in Contumazá, has passed away.

For many years, Marciano was a member of the Rural Library Network and the Community Programme as librarian and coordinator.

Many books passed through Marciano's hands, many roads we walked together, we visited many children with projectable capacities and we spent long nights in the community of Santa Ana attending to the sick and suffering. We learned from Marciano about plants and healing and we remember many anecdotes and laughs shared over the years.

Thank you, comrade Marciano for your teachings, for your company, for your affection and your solidarity. Someday, our paths will meet again.
