New Day in Bolivia

We have been in Cochabamba for three days now and we have seen so many things. Meeting Gaby and the Dangerous Women was a wonderful experience. I am in awe of the work that they do for the children of Cochabamba. To see whole communities of Cochabambinos work together to create better literacy in the region is truly awe inspiring. We take a lot for granted in our normal lives back home. Or course, I do realize that this nation is growing in literacy and we had our own hills to climb in recent history. Today we will visit a public library in the city. Yesterday, we saw a community library that was establish by citizens in a private home. These people have accomplished great success in introducing books to the average person but their work has just begun. They desperately need more books.
