00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 3>It was a day of municipal elections and despite the

66
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 3>cold August winter, Valeria arrived early at the community center.

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 3>The polling center was set up in a humble room

74
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>with windows slightly fogged by the breath of voters and volunteers.

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.120

00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 3>her friend Camilla, worried about political apathy, helped her.

<v Speaker 1>For experiences Pa Servas vin Sava Quesubo.

92
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.519
<v Speaker 3>From past experiences, he thought his vote didn't matter.

00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>came together and achieved improvements in their community.

112
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 3>managed to get his street paved, or about the new

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.399

122
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.759

129
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Coaquin looked at the polling center and thought of his children,

130
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 3>how a small gesture could make a difference in their

131
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:34.519

134
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 3>the air and said, all right, you convinced me.
