Iris goes to Lima, Peru The Value of Social Capital in Community Development
Mar 02

Our teammate Iris wrote us today from Lima, Peru:

Greeting from Lima! As my trip is approaching to its end, I had the opportunity to visit the market place in Lima called La Parada, where I had the opportunity to chat with local street-stand business owners selling ojotas. The great news is the shoes have a thinner, lighter, more flexible sole. They also have a variety of models which I am bringing back to test on the streets of New York [...] I am off to the beach now!  -Iris.

Just for fun, since Iris was not able to attach pictures of the sandals she found in Lima, I decided to do a youtube video on ojotas.

This is a very funny commercial sponsored by El Commercio which is Peru’s biggest newspaper and their series in Invincible Brands, highlighting Nike, Coca Cola, etc.
