Video: Happiness in Paraguay (part 2)

"Alegría Paraguaya" or "Paraguayan Happiness" is a part of the culture of Paraguay.

This video was created as part of the Peace Corps Week Video Challenge "Highlighting Happiness," in which Peace Corps Volunteers captured examples of happiness in the host communities where they lived and worked. It was filmed in Spanish and features the visuals and voices of Paraguayans sharing where they find joy in their country, the things they value, and the friendly tradition of "tereré".
