Bolivian Voices

During a visit to Buenos Aires, I met Juan Vasquez, member of a group of Bolivians in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, called “Agrupación Simbiosis Cultural.” They wrote to Voces Bolivianas in order to learn a little more about the use of blogs. I showed him a little of what can be done by using blogs, and how easy it is to create and maintain. After I returned to Bolivia, Juan wrote me with the address of his new blog A Bolivian in Argentina. . I am still in touch with him via MSN Messenger to answer his questions and provide any tips for his blog.

His latest post talks about the 2nd annual event called “United Youth for the Children” where in 2008:

get together to give children, Bolivian or not, an enjoyable afternoon where the primary objective will be to show them the games that they left behind when they came to this country and which they grew up with, as well as learn lessons that are given at that age.

His group will participate once again this year on January 10th, and he summarizes last year’s event, which only expected 300 children and in the end attracted more than 700 children.

The afternoon was exciting from the very start, because not only more young people attended, but also other joyful people, who had the desire to donate a little of what they had so that it was enough for all of the children.

Other people came by with presents, clothes, soft drinks or with the simple, but important question, “can I help with something?”
