For the Malagueños

This is just a little note for the malagueños... (For those who don´t know, those would be the folks who live in Málaga, Spain where I studied and lived for a year and a half).

I live in Caracas.

Ok. Right. Got it.

I live in Málaga! Say what?

I´m serious.

But how could I possibly live in two places at once?

Well, in a building called Málaga of course, as it should be.


You can imagine my surprise of course when I stepped out of the taxi on the first day and realized where I will be living...

UCV: Central University of Venezuela

My team! From left to right: Claudia, Me, Dan and Ninive. There are lots of cool tile walls and weird sculptures around campus.

Exhibit A: cool sculpture... Also, there are a lot of trees all over campus. Parts of it feel like you're in a park! It helps me to not feel so much that I am stuck in a big city.

Our Caracas team and our National Director walking around campus.


For the time being our team has decided to focus on one university, and more specifically on one campus. We already have a few contacts at UCV, the Central University of Venezuela and it is the most "central" university. We have two student contacts in the school of Architecture, who are already getting their friends interested, and we've done a few activities there in the past, so we decided to make that our Target Area. Later on, once we have a group established we will be able to branch out into other schools at UCV, and eventually to other universities!
