Huaman Urco is a peasant community located in the district of Mazan, which in turn is one of the 11 districts that make up the province of Maynas in the department of Loreto, in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon jungle. Huaman Urco is home to the indigenous Kichwa and Maijuna peoples. Access to Huaman Urco is only by river. According to the distribution in per capita income quintiles, the community belongs to the first quintile, which indicates extreme poverty. This peasant community does not have basic services such as drinking water, drainage, and electricity. The idea of creating a library emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Jorge Valenzuela, one of the founding members of TANQA, traveled to Huaman Urco in October 2020 as part of a program offered to recent medical graduates in Peru called the Rural Urban Marginal Health Service. While living and working in the community for a year, he recognized its shortcomings and needs—not only in terms of health, but also in literacy and education – understanding that health is holistic and inseparable from education. Since the school was closed and there was no access to information technologies in the community, the creation of the jungle library became a necessity. To create the library, we decided to hold health campaigns in the city of Iquitos, known as the «Capital of the Peruvian Amazon» and the largest metropolis in the Peruvian Amazon. This big city is located 6 hours from Huaman Urco by river. We carried out three campaigns offering health services, providing care in medicine, dentistry, psychology, nutrition, and art workshops. The only requirement to access these free services provided by qualified professionals was to bring a book in good condition. In this way, we were able to collect books of diverse kinds, which allowed us to create a varied and diverse collection. The physical construction of the library was carried out with the help of the settlers. The non-profit organization Tanqa met in the local assembly with the authorities, and the realization of a «minga» was agreed upon—a traditional form of community work for collective benefit that has been carried out since ancient times in Amazon communities of South America. The voluntary collaboration of the entire community was obtained to build the jungle library with local materials. Since then, we have been increasing the number of books, but we need your support to expand the library and acquire better quality books. Our dream is to create a large library that is a cultural reference point, with reading rooms, books divided by sections, and the implementation of a computer and internet system that the settlers can access for free. We believe our dream can come true with your help.
