Thursday, April 30 – Central Prison, Santiago, Chile

This a very large prison and we visited it last year as well a number of times. We were able to perform in a large gym and use our projector to play a video backdrop behind us.

Saturday nights, April and May – Central Station, Santiago, Chile

We were  granted a spot right in front of their Grand Central Station which is the only train and bus station in and out of the city. Over 700,000 people walk by this spot a day!  To bring joy to a sad world and hope to those that suffer is a great privilege.
