Sócota in FA

It’s always a source of joy and encouragement when new libraries open.

At our last meeting, the Network’s teacher and librarian, Abel Vásquez Saucedo, brought a large number of books to open two BRs in FA in Sócota, Cutervo: Rural Libraries in Families!

The BRs in FA are part of an initiative that emerged during the pandemic when, in the most remote parts of Peru, where there are no mobile phones or internet signal, students went almost two years without effective support from teachers and educational institutions. 

These mini family libraries that we created in this context were the only source of information and learning for many children. They also provided a reason to gather again in the evenings, as a family, after a day’s farm work, around the fire, to read.

They are now spreading throughout the Network’s territory, thanks to initiatives such as those of Mr Abel.

Thank you very much and welcome to our ayllu of Libraries!
