Paraguay (Broché)

Biographie de Margaret Hebblethwaite

Margaret Hebblethwaite began her writing career as a theologian, and is the author of ten religious books in the areas of feminist theology, spirituality and Latin American liberation theology. She worked as assistant editor on The Tablet from 1991 to 2000, when she gave up her job to pursue her interest in Latin American liberation theology, by moving to a poor campesino community in South America.
She has lived in Santa María de Fe, Misiones, Paraguay since 2000, where her time has been consumed by working for a number of community projects. She founded and runs the charity Santa Maria Education Fund ; works with the sewing co-operative Taller de Hermandad to help them with their marketing ; and founded the Santa María Hotel, which is run as a community project with all profits going to the local people.
This is the first book she has written since her move to Paraguay. She has been freed up to work on this third edition by the employment of a field officer for the ever-growing charity. Two new tourist highlights she has been able to visit for this third edition are the Guaviramí community of indigenous (in the south of the country), with their fabulous performance of traditional indigenous music, and the Caves of San Lázaro (at the far northern tip of eastern Paraguay), with their multiple types of rock formation, providing an exciting day's outing full of photo opportunities.
