my friend Evan from La Paz hooked me up with Magda from UNICEF here in Cochabamba, who was organizing an interesting event with kids. the event was very interactive and aimed at the exchange of experiences among the children, trough videos, talk but also theatre, dance etc. The kids really had fun and there were some quite emotional moments when people broke out in tears – especially when the youngsters from the juvenile detention center sung their songs to “mother” and “father”. Thanks for the link, Evan, the invite, Magda and all the help and your work, team. And great to meet you, Jane! (below part of an article in spanish describing the event).
