Challenges in Bolivia

Bolivian politics are hot these days with the Bolivian President, Evo Morales, on the outs with the U.S. Ambassador, our plans to travel in February may be affected. Look in the news for updates on the Santa Cruz desire to secede. Beyond that, the orphanage development is slower than we had hoped, but we continue to support its daily activity. Right now the community does not want us to have access, so the Foundation is considering the purchase of a parcel of land that would allow for the construction of a path for construction materials. This month Global Gallery representatives will be presenting to previous and future partners in the project and beginning to plan for our big fundraiser, the Day of the Dead celebration. Look for updates here!
