One bead, spark, stitch at a time.















I visited the town of "Las Flores" (the flowers) yesterday.  Here are some kids (and some adults) hard at work.  Youth, between the ages of 14 and 25, have the opportunity to attend state-run technical schools free of charge.  They learn a variety of skills that will make it easier for them to find employment.  Here we see jewellery-making, cosmetology, cooking, sewing, metalwork and basic electrical systems.
