Dreaming of Hope

During the eighthies, when I was a social work student, I found  great inspiration in the life and work of Orlando Fals Borda, he is the father of Colombian sociology  and also  the creator of Participatory Action research. His huge contribution to the Latin  American progressive thinking is invaluable. Fals Borda was a social scientist invoved in Popular Education programs, and his legacy is a permanent inspiration to
building a better society.

Unfortunately he passed away last tuesday.
