Chris, Micheline and their cultural guide Eddy Rojas ready to explore La Paz
The girls with two volunteers from Cruz Roja Boliviana (Bolivian Red Cross). These girls are spreading awareness to young children about the importance of washing their hands to stop the spread of germs and diseases.
Purchasing some fresh fruit!
Stopping at the witches market, a popular spot in the streets of Bolivia
Micheline buying some cocoa leaves. Chewing on these leaves is said to help with acclimatization
Nice hate Micheline!
Chris looks at a dog collar for one of her many dogs! It is very fitting she would visit a pet store during her “Climb for Paws” fundraiser.
To send donations for Chris’s fundraiser “Climb for Paws” and to help her raise awareness for the plight of streets dogs by supporting the two charities “Pets Without Vets” and “Potcake Place” click here for her website.
