Bolivia is a ideal place for youth who in the future would like to serve as pioneers in developing countries.

There are probably few countries that can claim such natural physical and cultural diversity as Bolivia. In Bolivia one can find almost all climate conditions, extraordinary flora and fauna, large areas of virgin territory, and numerous ethnic groups with distinct languages and folklore.

Bolivia is a large, land-locked country of about one million square kilometers located in the heart of South America. A large part of the country consists of high mountainous areas with little vegetation. In the lowlands of the north and east, however, vast tropical areas can be found which form part of the outer fringes of the Amazon Basin.

Bolivia has a population of 8 million people, and is a potentially rich nation in terms of its untapped natural resources and large tracts of undeveloped land. The under-developed human resources of Bolivia represent one of the greatest potential forces for the social and economic development of the country. An estimated 50% of the population still live in rural areas, a fact that is changing daily as more and more people are driven to the cities and towns in search of employment and better living conditions.
The majority of the population is either indigenous or of mixed descent (mestizo). Of these approximately 80,000 are Bahá’ís. The majority of the friends live in difficult, subsistence level conditions and have a great need for deepening in the Faith. There are innumerable opportunities to teach or serve in capacities such as: in deepening programs, in the consolidation of hundreds of Local Spiritual Assemblies, in the establishment of classes for children and youth, in the organization of study circles and the promotion of devotional meetings in clusters in most regions of the country.

The members of the Bolivian Baha’i Community are continuously increasing their awareness of their responsibilities to the Faith and feel a growing love for Baha’u’llah. The capacities of the believers and institutions are developing in order to carry forward a process of entry by troops through the three core activities: study circles, devotional meetings and children classes. Home-front pioneers will use their capabilities in teaching to help to build communities that are healthier, stronger and in perpetual development.

This achievement is made possible mostly by the institute process that has extended to many communities and gained the interest of a large a number of the believers. Currently we are working in a system and holistic fashion with all parts of the country, doing follow-up and training tutors in order to reach an unimaginable number of trained human resources and thereby win the goals that the Universal House of Justice has given us during this formative age.

Need following quotation in English:
“Los deberes de enseñanza y pionerismo son prescritos para todos los creyentes. No existen categorías especiales de creyentes para estas funciones. Cualquier Baha’í quien difunde el Mensaje de Bahá’u’lláh es un maestro, cualquier Baha’í quien se muda a otra área para difundir la Fe es un pionero.” La Casa Universal de Justicia a una Asamblea Espiritual Nacional; 2 de julio 1965
