Cambia Todo Cambia

A last blog before the end of the year and what a year it has been here in Bolivia! Evo won the presidential elections with a stunning 64% solidifying his MAS parties place in Bolivian history. Global warming and its effects in Bolivia took front stage at Copenhagen’s talks. A black man became president of the US and then went on to show us that even he can control the prevailing economic system as banks not people were bailed out of one of the worse economic crashes since the Great Depression. And so it goes.....

We want to thank all the people who came as volunteers, students or visitors for their support, their kind words and their willingness to spend some time in Bolivia trying to understand this increasingly complex country. We believe that as the international crisis deepens so does the need for us to deepen our roots and to build bridges between peoples.

Libertad, Democracia Y Justicia to All.


It is good for them to know, the gentlemen of money, that the times of yesterday will no longer be those of today nor those of tomorrow.... They shall no longer humiliate those of us who are the color of earth. We always had a voice. But it shall no longer be a murmur which lowers its head. It shall now be a shout which lifts the gaze and which shall force them to see us as we are, and to accept us as we are."
