In the path


We are going through a difficult stage. It is also a call to value life and to give thanks for all that we have inherited from our grandparents.

It is a time to reflect on the way we behave with our beloved land, how much we value the customs and the work of our brothers and sisters in the field. It is not a question of words: it is living and keeping the community alive.

At the beginning of March we had the Assembly of our Network, concerned about reviewing our activities, but also with the intention of enjoying the reunion, that magic of knowing that we are deeply united and cared for as a family and community.

It was as always very pleasant to have the presence of librarians and coordinators, who came from far away bringing the lively spirit and, with great pride, what their chacritas (farms) produce, to share all together.

May that refined charm always remain, pleasing like the flavour of potatoes and ollucos;  granulated like rice, coffee and wheat; delicious like cocoa and tomatoes; luminous like corn and oranges; tender like bread and cheese.

May the humility of wisdom continue to fill us; may the contagious be the good bearer of dreams and certainties, to always awaken laborious and beautiful.

Thanks to all the community members; Thanks to our brother Alfredo for his optimism, for giving us classes in true brotherhood, for making us understand that we are nobody if we are not able to understand and put ourselves in the place of others.

"May the earth and the breath of our grandparents take care of us always. May we continue to share and meet challenges along the way, always.
