If my country made good use of it resources, we would be all doing great. As things are, we have one of the richest countries in the planet, oil, gas, minerals, woods, water, grasslands, etc., etc., etc.

BUT we end up having one of the poorest people in the Americas, often running neck-to-neck with Haiti as the one with worst economic indicators. Nowadays some of those indicators "seem" to look better, thanks to huge gas exports, but, remember, that influx of money takes it while to reach the common people, it is handled by by by international companies, and the government.

Thus I am convinced that the goal of this project in Bolivia is not to produce more engineers, lawyers, artists, not even to produce better ones merely, because at best we will be exporting the brightest of them to the North. The goal has to be a change in the parameters of relationships, where honesty in handling resources is paramount. To achieve that we need transparency in handling funds.

I do not expect to be handling many millions, at least not soon, though I can always wish, but at least I can make sure that what I get, especially what is given to us is carefully and publicly accounted for, and I merely doing my best that what is given my people gets to my people, and is used as wisely as I can make it happen.
