We are all suffering, people, animals and plants; our fields are parched, the rivers have decreased their flow significantly. And although in Rural Libraries we always take care of the water, reusing it as much as possible and even harvesting rainwater for our plants and animals, it is also running out. It has been normal in Cajamarca for the rains to begin on September 8th, but this year we reached the end of the month and the drought still continued.
May these difficult times help us to reflect, to take measures to know how to use water responsibly and that our treatment of nature be one of gratitude. And when the rains come, let us greet them with respect, let them feel welcome, for it is on them that there will be bread on our tables, that life will continue.
