In good company

"A friend is a brother in times of distress", our elders tell us in the book "Dichos y refranes" (sayings and proverbs).

Having friends who are determined to continue accompanying us, to put their shoulder to the wheel to continue with the proposal of the Rural Libraries Network, the great legacy of our dear Alfredo Mires and Juan Medcalf, encourages us, comforts us and makes us feel more and more committed.

Recently we had the pleasant visit of Alain and Myriam Laigneaux, members of Esperanza Association TM, with whom we shared memories, teachings, achievements and challenges. We were touched by their appreciation and interest in the Network's productions. Their looks as they contemplated each of the books on the shelves said it all. 

It was also good for us to feel the appreciation and respect they show for our elders, such as Don Pascualito Sánchez, from the community of Chuco in San Marcos, whom they also admire for all his wisdom.

Thank you Alain and Miriam for the conversation, your love and appreciation.
