More reading, better education




The world of reading

PBecause we believe that by promoting reading we will strength the reading skills, and also because at the moment we do not have many areas open so that children and adolescents from Sorochuco and Huasmín could have access to quality books. We have also launched mini libraries in our information offices in response to the need for children and young people of school age who need reading areas to strengthen their education and academic preparation.

These mini-libraries will be open the12 months of the year, allowing students to come during their holiday period. In "The World of Reading", they will find updated information, and texts that are suitable to their education levels, such as primary, secondary and higher education.



The Local Education Management Unit from province of Celendín is backing up this project.



And the authorities say…




“As a son of Sorochuco I feel very proud to encourage culture and knowledge for the youth, it has been a difficult pathway to achieve this, I am sure that in the future there will be more work for the community for Sorochuco, it is great to have an open and direct dialogue with the project, all together we will find the best way to continue the development of Sorochuco.” LUIS CASTAÑEDA PISCO – Public Safety Coordinator from Sorochuco.
