With the children of Sócota

After almost five years, in August of this year we met again with the families of the Community Programme for the accompaniment of children with projectable capacities in Sócota, Cutervo.

In this area there are four peasant coordinators who do excellent work: Ángela Burga Muñoz, Nadia Barboza Fernández, Abel Vásquez Saucedo and Jorge Guevara Ramírez.

During these days of visit we met children and families new to the Community Programme. We were able to talk about our way of working, the distribution of responsibilities, the values of reciprocity and protection that mark the work of the programme, the community as a point of departure and arrival, the importance and role of volunteers in Libraries, and our close relationship with Mother Earth.

We visited some children in their homes, others we met in different meetings. They showed us their home gardens and the small animals they raise, we managed to deliver therapy materials and natural medicine to those who need it, we taught new techniques and exercises and, at the end, we had a nice encounter with children and parents in the countryside of Culla.

We said goodbye in better spirits, with lots of inspiration to continue working together and with happy hearts and souls.

Thanks to all the lovely people who made these days an unforgettable experience.
