The Municipality of Concordia, together with the Coordination of the “Juana Sarriegui de Isthilart” Nursing Home, invites the community to participate in the presentation of the book “Raíces del alma”, written by Antonio Cipriano Luján, a 72-year-old Concordia resident and resident of the Home, who captured in this work a profound poetic and existentialist look at life.
The activity will take place on Monday, September 1st, at 11:00 a.m., in the Municipal Assembly Hall, within the framework of a cultural and community proposal that highlights the voice and talent of older adults.
This project was carried out by Gladys Portugal, Head of the Department of Senior Citizen Policies; Patricia Jaluf, Coordinator of the “Graciela Cutro” Municipal Children's and Youth Library; and Andrea Chirino, Coordinator of the “Juana Sarriegui de Isthilart” Provincial Nursing Home.
This proposal is the result of the joint work of the Multisectoral Working Group to Promote Community Initiatives, formed by the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship and the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture (Secretariat of Human Development).
Gladys Portugal highlighted: “This book is much more than a literary work; it is proof that our older adults have much to contribute. Antonio reminds us that there is always time to dream and carry out projects that transcend.”
For her part, Andrea Chirino expressed: “From the Nursing Home, we seek that every resident can feel accompanied and valued. This work reflects how, with support and care, initiatives can emerge that enrich not only those who live in the Home, but also the entire community.”
Patricia Jaluf stressed: “The Municipal Library proudly took on this challenge of accompanying Antonio in the editing of his work. We believe in the transformative power of reading and writing, and this book is a living example that culture is a bridge towards integration and inclusion.”
With this presentation, the municipal administration reaffirms its commitment to generating spaces for participation, expression, and cultural development, where every story and life experience can become a valuable contribution to the entire community.
