| "Yo Soy Ruta de Paz" This is the name of the campaign. Ruta de Paz being the region in which I live and work After the Civil war ended in 1992 the region was renamed Many people in the region don't identify with the name and so this campaign is to celebrate the people, the culture, the artisans, crops, foods, even animals like the gallina mas hermosa! Its been really fun to go from Municipality to municipality and now this grand finale where all the winners from past events come to be recognized and claim their prizes! |
