The Larati Community (Sindicato Agrario Larati Grande) is a poor area around 1,5 hours away from the Cochabamba city.

It is very unfortunate that some criminals followed a few of our volunteers to their home town (the ones taking care of the donation money), broke their car and stole around 1 784 USD from the car. They did a police report and we have been taking actions to minimize the risk in the future.
You are very welcome with your donation for our next giving.
