“First Look at Copacabana” by Kalia Olson

First Look at Copacabana

“As I stepped off the bus and arrived in the small town of Copacabana in Bolivia, I spotted this girl on the side of the road preparing for the parade that celebrated the town’s anniversary. I found myself in Bolivia through a study abroad program and the penetrating gaze of this girl caught my eye. This young girl is part of the hundreds of thousands of rising youth that have the power to create future change in their town and the world. Her eyes say it all. It’s time.” Student Arts Program official selection 2018.
