Ahecha Paraguay Opening at the CCPA!!

Friday May 22nd, 7pm - Centro Cultural Paraguayo Americano (CCPA)
The Ahecha Paraguay 2° annual National Tour kicked off on Friday night, with the presence of 8 youth photographers, their volunteer contacts, Peace Corps Paraguay Director-Don Clark and the presence of many hard working dedicated CoCuMu members and volunteers!

I had the honor of being the MC for the evening, giving the opening welcome, project description and introducing Sergio Galeano (youth speaker) and Director Don Clark (all in spanish-there will be youtube videos soon-if i ever get to faster internet). I was a little nervous but everything went smashingly well! The exhibit was beautiful and everyone was highly impressed!

Take a look...

Takuára-Bamboo, This year the Ahecha exhibit was designed to use the fast growing renewable resource...bamboo or Takuára in Guarani!

The reasons the Ahecha exhibit turned out so well: Sadiya and Courtney!!
