During the Eighth Annual Colegio Albania Book Fair in La Guajira, Colombia, I was very fortunate to share time with children from Mushaisa and other young guests of Wayuu community.
I was also able to learn from teachers and lecturers from other countries and regions of Colombia.
The positive energy generated from learning is what fulfills and motivates us.
Thank you for giving me this generous opportunity to share my work.
I hope that they continue to achieve success in the promotion of reading in young, talented minds.

Special thanks to Colegio Albania (Guajira, Colombia) for sharing our goal of promoting literature for young, talented minds.
I had the incredible opportunity of visiting their first-grade graduation ceremony thanks to the support of the Elementary Vice-Principal and the kind invitation from Mrs. Rubys Chinchia, the Spanish teacher.
The highlight of my conversation with them was when they expressed their genuine love of reading and desire for knowledge.
I also have immense admiration for their grand library, where, with the help of their director, Mrs. Gladys Arias, visitors enjoy a cozy reading space. Children, parents, and teachers are welcome and can find a plethora of updated and relevant reference materials. It’s the perfect place for books, readers, and writers alike.
