Food, music, walks, family and friends always gladden the heart; these beautiful events make everything make sense and the paths continue to be forged.
Today, this joy comes to us from the foothills of the apu (sacred mountain) Qayaqpuma, through our friends of the Apu Cultural Association and the little house "Caminos del Corazón", who joined the journey of the Network of Rural Libraries with the inauguration of the Rural Library "Alfredo Mires Ortiz" in the community of Shaullo Chico, Baños del Inca, Cajamarca.
They, in gratitude to the teachings of our dear Alfredo, decided to give their breath to this library; now our books have a new little place as true and warm as the hearth of our elders; from here, the community begins to have a new voice.
The inauguration became a celebration: there was no lack of music, no lack of children's dancing, and the joijona was plentiful. Thus we filled the spirits and hearts of all those present.
An African proverb says: "Many small people, in small places, doing small things, can change the world".
Alfredo Mires said: "By reading we are more together".
Trusting, we know that this new rural library has a long future ahead.
