Bolivia: Revaluation of the Yuracaré Language
The language of the Yurakaré culture is a language that has survived to this day. However, contact with the Castilian language has been an influence on the speakers, the language, and culture.

Bolivia: Web 2.0 for Women's Rights
The city of El Alto is characterized for its maintenance of a organizational syndicalist structure dominated mostly by men, and few women have managed to take leadership roles in these structures.
