Sowing Seeds of Peace in Bolivia
September 24 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
In 2010, Bolivian Quaker Magaly Quispe started offering Alternatives to Violence workshops in one Bolivian prison. AVP-Bolivia has now reached 21 prisons – and every department in Bolivia. Come hear about Magaly’s work for peace and how it has expanded to anti-domestic violence work, as well as a “study home” — a residence for rural students who live too far from a high school to commute daily. Magaly was also one of the principal guides and hosts for ESR’s May 2024 class in Bolivia.
Clear Creek, West Richmond Friends, and First Friends meetings co-host this event. Light refreshments will be provided. The talk is also available on Zoom. Email [email protected] for the link.
Beginning by offering an Alternatives to Violence workshop in one La Paz prison, Magaly now offers AVP in prisons throughout Bolivia. She and her team also build greenhouses in prisons, allowing inmates to grow their own food, to have meaningful work, and to reconnect to the land and, in some cases, to their rural roots.
