- Her AVP prison workshops in Bolivia began when she visited San Pedro prison in La Paz in connection with her thesis for her sociology degree. Already trained as an AVP facilitator, she started a workshop. Its success led to a rapid expansion of the program, now active in 21 prisons nationwide, with many facilitators inside who collaborate in organizing and leading workshops together with outside facilitators. Her newest project is organizing the building and maintaining of solar greenhouses. The work is all done by AVP inmates, providing them with fruits and vegetables for the first time.
