Poverty in Latin America hits you right between the eyes, in part because income is very unequally distributed, so the contrast is strong. As one of our group activities, Eliana arranged for us to visit the La Paz school, a grade school serving children in an economically depressed area of the city. Many of the students come from very troubled homes. They do outstanding work here.
Here is a class in progress. We visited a few of them during our time there. The children have a LOT of energy! During their recess, the noise was deafening! Some students in our group are volunteering their time at La Paz over the next two months, and I am very proud of them for doing so.
