Due to some technical problems most of the photos taken today were lost and we are unable to share them with you. However, the day is saved by our talented videographer, who is relentlessly working hard to prepare videos for our daily reports. We recommend that you watch the video first before reading the description of the day's events.
Por problemas tecnicos la mayor parte de fotografias capturadas se perdieron de tal manera es incapaz de compartirlas con ustedes. Sin embargo, el dia fue salvado por nuestro talentoso videografo, que sin descanso trabajo duro para preparar videos para nuestros reportes diarios.
We dedicate this day to all those special individuals who selflessly help and support others.
We began our day with Diego De Castro (pushing the standing kart) and Emmanuel Falcon (the enthusiastic kart rider) who came to our accommodation to run with us. Diego owns the restaurant where we had our dinner the night before. He was eager to join us, along with his friend Emmanuel, for the first half of the day. They turned out to be a huge inspiration for our team. Diego pushes his friend Emmanuel on a standing kart while training and to many running events. He said these activities are bringing happiness to his friend and curing his disability. This act of kindness is bringing peace and joy in Diego's life and he is grateful for it.
In the morning, we also met some students of the local high school of La Paz, Marcelino H. Blanco, and ran with them for our first ceremony at their school. The school greeted us with great enthusiasm and were eager to know about the Peace Run. At the end of the ceremony they also performed for us and took selfies with the team members. During our presentation we honored the Director of the school, Jorge Negri, with our Torch-Bearer award for his selfless service to the community. Then we ran to our next school, Ferrocarriles Argentinos. We were received with the same enthusiasm as the previous school. The school director, Adriana Araya, received our Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of the school. We also took the opportunity to present our Torch-Bearer award to Diego and Manuel.
After our ceremonies, Diego, Emmanuel and Tito, another local athlete, ran with us for nearly 10 km. Diego and Manuel were very moved by the experience they had with the torch, and our whole team was deeply inspired by the incredible bond of friendship that these two special souls share.
