Potosi - the highest "city" in the world.
And at one time the richest.
For it was here that the Spaniards mined enough silver,
as legend has it, to build a bridge of silver
that could span from South America to Spain.
Generations ago the indigenous people of the Altiplano
named the mountain where the silver was mined
"beautiful mountain" or in the Spanish translation
"rich mountain".
It's sad to see the community that was once the richest
and most prosperous in Latin America now one of
the most impoverished -
Potosi claims not only the highest city in the world
and its history as once the world's richest,
it also must list high in the ranks as the city
with the most churches.
For with all the wealth the Spanish built churches.
Many of the old houses of worship are schools or
other places of business today.
The conditions workers must perform their jobs
in the mines are depressing.
Once owned by three individuals the mines were liberated
and controlled by the state after a "revolution" of
sorts in the 1950's.
But as the price of tin plummeted as the world moved
from tin and metal containers to plastic, riots,
strikes and conditions in the mines grew worse.
The state eventually had to close down its mines.
Today the mines are owned by a handful of cooperatives
in which the minors participate.
FMNJ has a great mission to get the safety into
the mining operations -
