A year ago, friend & fellow Bolivian blogger Eddie Evila (of Barrio Flores) launched a project to help encourage more blogs from Bolivia—specifically in less affluent areas (his project started in El Alto).
The project is called Voces Bolivianas & is part of the Global Voices initiative (a project of Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society). VB trains young Bolivians in using blog software & tools. Recently, the project has grown to include a number of rural areas. If you’re looking for fresh Bolivian perspectives (and if you can read Spanish and/or Aymara), these are great places to look.
As their startup grant runs out, they need funding help (primarily to pay for internet costs). So. They’re selling laptop covers made from traditional Bolivian cloths (aguayos) for $25. They’re specifically made for a MacBook.
