The Kuna Indians have one of the strongest indigenous communities in Latin America, but as they have moved to the Panamá City, they have lost many of the resources that made their culture strong. For the last two years, a Kuna artist, José Angel Colman, has been working with Shine a Light to create an arts program where urban Kuna kids re-create their culture in the city.
Several other committed people have been working in the same communities, and have developed a blog that shows the way that the arts can have an impact on the lives of truly marginalized children. The photos they have included of their work are inspirational.
