A Personal Note to Friends of Oscar and Marcela Olivera

Some of our readers are personal friends of Oscar and Marcela Olivera, two people very close to us here (Marcela is my main workmate here at The Democracy Center). Yesterday morning Marcela and Oscar’s mother Nora passed away. This afternoon a group of many friends joined together at the Cochabamba Cemetery to help them lay their mother to rest. Obviously, this is a very difficult time for Oscar, Marcela and their family. Those of you in contact with them might wish to send your condolences and best wishes.
