It’s been an exiting time as books sent from Lima have now been distributed among our Network of the Rural Libraries. Encyclopaedias, dictionaries, literature, law and educational books will be of great benefit to the isolated communities of Cajamarca. By improving literacy through reading, knowledge of local traditions and culture can be recorded. Hundreds of books have now been published by the Rural Libraries, which keep these local indigenous skills alive. It is vital to retain awareness of these skills, as the mainstream education system excludes teaching the culture of indigenous people of Peru.
A huge thank you to Rosita Vásquez for sending such a valuable donation.
