El Pueblo

This past Sunday evening, community members of Segundo Montes came together in commemoration

of 22-year old Patricia Hernandez who died the morning of December 28th, some 40 days ago in a car accident. Patricia was a founder of the OSCA youth group and was also very involved with her neighborhood, La Ladrillera, where she had formed her own youth group that discussed social problems. As a scholarship student, she was in her second year studying nursing at the University of Andres Bello in San Miguel.

The evening of the commemoration we honored Patricia with performances by local artists including theater, dance, and musical groups. It was a sad event but also one filled with hope.
