This month, Bolivia commemorates the 200th anniversary of its independence, the “Bicentenario”. The Village Foundation takes part in the celebrations, each of its 3 locations. In Yanacachi, our historical headquarters, we inaugurated a new billboard greeting our visitors at the village entrance. It highlights the ancient role of Yanacachi as the “Gateway to the Yungas Region of La Paz”. Our Tarija Office, coordinating the weekly boarding with indigenous families in the Department, offered a reception for representatives of countries and the university we work with. Here, our 200-years-billboard features the girls of the Guaraní People in their colourful traditional dresses, whom we help to continue schooling through our weekly boarding in the Chaco Region.
