This afternoon I visited Amnesty international. Roberto my host works with the members of this organisation for his work with rural and indigenous people.
Whilst there I met a young woman named Sonia Agudo. She is originally from Spain and now works in Paraguay for Amnesty. 
Sonia told me of a project she is setting up in Paraguay, called 'Making the invisible visible'.
She is working hard with a local artist to create portraits of members of the indigenous communities to be show at an art event. The aim that the art will speak to a wide range of viewers to help promote the issue the country has with hiding the people and the problems.
At the launch event Sonia has invited an organisation called 'The Landfill Orchestra'. This is a fantastic project, defiantly check them out on YouTube. Basically they recycle materials out of landfill sites into instruments for young people. To give them the opportunity to find music. 
Right back to work. This isn't a holiday you know.
