Reach out your hand to the grandchild without letting go of the grandparents'

In the process of rescuing the wisdom of the grandparents, our brother Alfredo Mires said a phrase that we like very much, which is part of our books and posters of the Network, a phrase that calls us to reflection and action: Reach out your hand to the grandchild without letting go of the grandparents'.

In our recent Assembly we were overwhelmed with emotion to see our fellow librarian Marcial Rumay Cortez from the community of Shidín - Cajamarca arrive. Don Marcialito had stopped participating in our meetings for health reasons, yet this time he arrived in full spirit and also accompanied by his granddaughter Marisol Rumay, who grew up with the books of the Network. The girl who attended the library and who felt and feels proud to recommend our books, is now a university student, who values the efforts of the Network for the promotion of reading, recognizes our journey and accompanies us.

May Marisol be a sample of those seeds that so many coordinators of the different communities are taking care of; and may those seeds continue to grow and tell the wisdom of our grandparents.
