A permanent exhibition culminating a years worth of love, friendship, and stewardship to revitalize the connection between my hometown of Hays, Kansas, and Santa Maria De Fe, Paraguay.

The Postcard box seen empty here has run out of cards so many times we have yet to get a photo of it filled. The postcards are translated and sent to Paraguay with an individual from Hays sharing stories and questions. The cards are then returned when a pen-pal responds from our sister-city in Santa Maria.

It was a great honor to be selected to help revitalize this connection through this exhibition. I sincerely thank the city of Hays and the Sister City Committee for their time and for the opportunity.
