Reading and sunshine

Here in the Andes, rural people tend to be grateful for the weather: we welcome the rain, we thank the hail for fertilising the fields, and we enjoy the warm sunshine that shelters us.

However, with climate change in recent years, we also know that torrential rains can damage the soil and that strong sunshine can burn us.

Today we received some photos from our Rural Library in Educational Institution (BRIE) in Quinuacruz, Cajabamba. The educational community at this institution knows how wonderful it is to leave the classroom and read in nature. That is why the teaching staff came up with the initiative to build a reading hut where students can read under a thatched roof, with natural light and in a cosy environment.

We send our greetings and sincere congratulations for this wonderful initiative!
