Educating in an election campaign
Every sunday some friends and I go to each district of Trujillo to guide about this election campaign, how to vote and what are the roles of the major. We have some games and spaces where people can say or write what is the most important for their district... This sunday is election day, we hope people can express a conscious vote, most of the time people prefer to hear promises which are not sure to be reality.

Some Colonial old houses (casonas coloniales) from San Martin Street are about to disappear soon, people need money to rebuild but sometimes they prefer to sell them for a great prize, then, they are new houses but with a new and a diferent style.
