Cochabamba - "Next Sunday will be the Fifth Sunday of Lent, and we want to make a collection in all the churches, in all communities of Cochabamba, with a key objective, namely, our solidarity, our love for the poorest... We want to show our contribution and our love, our sympathy for TIPNIS": says, in the note sent to Fides, His Exc. Mgr. Oscar Aparicio, Archbishop of Cochabamba, announcing this day of solidarity dedicated to brothers and sisters in need, especially children.
