Lorena Julio is a human rights advocate based out of Argentina. She spent some time discussing her work with her nonprofit, "Fundación Comparlante." In Argentina, she works to secure rights for people with disabilities in varying forms. Lorena was also one of the 50 marchers who agreed to take a year away from their normal lives to march as a part of the Jai Jagat 2020 campaign, from Delhi to Geneva. For Lorena, this meant so much travel, and so much connection to different cultures. Though the march was postponed in March 2020, Lorena has been busy. In this episode, you'll find out what she's been up to, and hear some words of encouragement for all of us who find ourselves on the path towards peace.

Episode 17 — Connection despite uncertainty with Javier Leal Garcia

2/2/2021

​Javier Leal Garcia was one of the marchers who committed a year of his life to marching for peace from Delhi, India, all the way to Geneva. The march was suspended due to the pandemic, and all the marchers dispersed and returned to their home countries. Javier lives in Spain now. He is a medical doctor, and he shares some of his perspectives about being a doctor, being a doctor while marching, and just being a human being on a massive peaceful undertaking like the Jai Jagat march. This interview is lovely and moving - he is a beautiful speaker. It is wonderful to hear him speak with Ashima, who marched alongside him on the Jai Jagat march.
