From Alto Dorado village, San José de Lourdes district, in
the Province of San Ignacio, we received an application to start Rural Libraries
in Educational Institution No. 16969.
Thanks to the encouragement and commitment of our sister Marleny Violeta Olivera, the library has started its march.
This past May 23, Marleny made the long journey from San
Ignacio to Alto Dorado, on the very border with Ecuador.
Just the river divides both countries, in an area of
delicate ecosystems threatened by illegal mining.
As soon as they arrived they began with the installation tasks
of the Library. Marleny was generously accompanied by her friend Marleny Burga,
who deployed all her eagerness to help in this birth.
Already in the place they had prepared a very nice space to
house the books: discovering wisdom will always be good news.
This is how the rural library "Hito Fronterizo"
has started, with Professor José Onécimo Guerrero Aranda as librarian. Of him,
who was telling stories of his area while the library was being installed,
Marleny told us: "It is enough to see him smile to discover that a man
with dreams and joys is hiding inside, and enthusiasm springs in the brightness
of his eyes".
Let that enthusiasm populate the community with the
readings that are sown there!
Our congratulations and hugs to you.
