Our Draw me your Story Project asked children
from both countries to draw their ideas, interests
and images of the place they live in -
VAP's Jim and Jill Pustorino travelled in Bolivia with
the Yarumal Missioners this November visiting
Public Schools showing them the Jersey city
drawings and working with the children in the village.
We completed the project in Bolivia
with a Drawing Exposition featuring works
from both countries and a Draw-in for the
kids in Cotagaita that involved portraiture
and drawing games-

The exhibit now comes back to Jersey City.
