It is with great joy that I announce the inauguration of Paitrakam (Heritage) Community Library! As is the tradition in Kerala, we celebrated this new beginning with a small ceremony, including the lighting of the Vilakku (lamp) and an address by our chief guest, Prof. K.K. Abraham.
With the help of fellow YAV, David Buco, and Christava Mahilalayam Public School, the library has a growing collection of English story books and Malayalam magazines. And this is only the beginning!
I am so thankful for the way my home community has embraced this project - offering encouragement, spreading the word, and mailing off boxes of books. Achen will deliver these upon their arrival. Though I will not be here to watch it take root, I will follow the library's growth with great joy from half-way around the world.
Thank you for making this a reality.
