Manuela Vásquez Gonzales is in charge of a Rural Library in Educational Institution (BRIE) at school Nº 82663, in Bambamarca. Manuela is a second grade teacher and she is putting emphasis on bringing books and reading closer to her little eight year old students.
At the moment they are reading the collection of twenty story booklets Biblioteca Campesina ...y otros cuentos, published by The Network. The children take a booklet home for a week, read it and then share it in the classroom. They then exchange the booklets with other classmates. This week, in class, they shared their comments about elves in our stories and what they themselves know about elves.
Manuela writes to us:
To share day by day with the children is to be filled with joy, satisfaction and richness for the wisdom transmitted by their parents and grandparents, a legacy that we can't stop rescuing to keep our culture alive, as we have learned from our friend Alfredo Mires.
Thank you, Manuela, for your kind words and for sharing these experiences with us.
