On April 20, 2013 Mano a Mano hosted its 4th annual Festival Bolivia event. The focus of the event was to support Mano a Mano's distribution program to ship donated surplus supplies from the US to support our projects in Bolivia, as well as to recognize our local heroes. In our first 3 years, Mano a Mano was able to complete 3 new projects thanks to the support of Festival Bolivia attendees.

It took 30 minutes by plane as opposed to a 5-hour drive. • The child survived.
