Bolivian Voices

As the start-up funding from Rising Voices comes to an end, Voces Bolivianas must find new and creative ways to find funding to continue our projects. The list of participants and communities that want to be a part of this web 2.0 world continues to grow. The number of bloggers that want to become trainers also increases as word gets out. As a result, we must find new and creative ways to find funds to pay for many of the expenses, such as internet cafe rental, overhead projector rental, and travel expenses for volunteers (i.e. the latest projects in Achacachi).

With the help of two of our bloggers in El Alto, Voces Bolivianas is pleased to offer the sale of laptop sleeves made from the traditional aguayo textile with a fleece lining. The sleeve is held by velcro. If this is successful, we will continue to manufacture more in different sizes. For now, the exact size is made for the dimensions of a Macbook (laptop measures 12.78 x 8.92 x 1.08 inches (WxDxH). Numbers are very limited.

There is a choice of two style (#1 and #2) and the cost is $25 USD and includes shipping within the US only (for now). Payment may be made via Paypal. 100% of proceeds goes towards Voces Bolivianas activities.

For more information please write: info [at] vocesbolivianas [dot] org or eduardo [at] vocesbolivianas [dot] org Please specify style #1 or #2.

To purchase:

Sorry, we are sold out. Please check back for future sales.

Note: We are trying this to see if there might be future interest in other sizes.  If you have a laptop that is not a Macbook, but would be interested in helping support Voces Bolivianas through the purchase of a laptop bag, please indicate what size you would be interested in (Survey Monkey)
