In March 2022, the Padme Foundation, in collaboration with Prosveta Spain, set up a project to help spread the Master's books in Latin America. Interested fraternal groups and distributors were offered free Spanish-language books.
These books were intended, as needed, to complete a fraternal library, reading centers, to equip public libraries, to complete a sales catalog in order to present all available books, to offer gifts to participants in presentations open to the public or to support any other work to spread the Teaching.
The fraternities and distributors contacted have all responded favourably to Padme's proposal.
Here's a testimonial from Peru :
« Hello dear brothers and sisters, Here's a brief summary of my spread activities in Peru. In 2024 and for part of 2023, I have been busy placing books from the Izvor and Complete Works collections donated by PADME. In the choice of libraries, preference is given to those of municipalities and universities.
For this job, the protocol is more or less as follows: I locate a library. Then I try to find a contact. Then I make a visit to assess the place. Shortly afterwards, I write a letter to the head of the library. You have to wait for his reply before making the donation if it's accepted.

Catholic Institute of Pedagogy
I have also placed books in Spanish purchased from Prosveta Colombia in 4 outlets in Lima, including a bookshop that wanted to close down... Some of these books are for sale or as gifts to people who come to see me.
Urubamba
Alongside these spread activities, I continue to do a few translations, the latest in collaboration with Sandra Recarte: “Commentaires de l'Ancien Testament, La Bible miroir de la création.”
As far as social networks are concerned, thanks to Pablo Tenekedjian living in Chile, a group of 42 people in Peru can follow the daily spread of daily thoughts and readings of some chapters of the Master's books on WhatsApp and Spotify.”
With my fraternal thoughts, Viviana Hermosa, FBU Peru
