In the high satellite city of El Alto above La Paz, there is one of the most amazing Community Art Centers we've ever seen: COMPA. Established 1989 they have a wealth of experience playing social theatre for disadvantaged people throughout Bolivia. We paint part of the main building and love the place.

There are about 6,000 working children in Sucre, and half of them are independent, working as shoe-shiners, car-washers or selling items on the street. They often work under terrible conditions and drop out of school. Foundations such as Ñanta guide them towards a hopeful future through cultural activities, healthcare, homework support, and nutritious meals.
