Masintranca and the rain

At the end of September we had a zonal meeting of librarians and coordinators in Masintranca, Chota.

The intention of the Network is to animate and reactivate our libraries from our own books and community reading, to live in small what we want to achieve in big and to turn our small libraries into living spaces of formation and encounter.

As usual, we began our meeting with an offering to the earth, and while we were in this ceremony we began to hear the soft sound of rain on the roof of the house. How wonderful! What a blessing after months of drought, lack of water and burnt jalcas!

We went outside to greet the rain - joyful and happy.

And the meeting was light: we enjoyed the librarians' reports and presentations, we did our reading circle remembering our commitments to the Network and we participated in the dynamics where we affirmed that books and reading have always been and always will be an important part of our lives.



Today I saw the most beautiful sunset in the world, in one of the most beautiful towns I know in Cajamarca.

...

“To deserve”.

“Thank you.”

With them, villagers, one can sit and watch and be thankful for this sunset.
