Iniciamos nuestro recorrido en Baruch College, en Manhattan.

El taller ofrece a los líderes comunitarios herramientas útiles para navegar el sistema norteamericano y hacer más efectivo su trabajo diario.
A continuación vamos al Hotel Gershwin, en Midtown. Carmen Boullosa entrevista a Estela Carlotto, presidenta de la organización argentina Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo. Estela, actualmente nominada la premio Nóbel de la Paz, estuvo en Nueva York promocionando el documental "¿Quién soy yo? Los niños encontrados de Argentina".
Acompañamos luego a Patricio Lerzundi a Midtown Manhattan. En esta oportunidad Patricio conversa con Mike Periú, experto en finanzas, desarrollo comercial y gestión empresarial. Mike ha asesorado a cientos de familias hispanas a manejar bien su dinero y a distinguir entre verdaderas oportunidades económicas y estafas. A través de sus columnas en periódicos, programas de radio y TV, y en su sitio en internet, el lider hispano ha desarrollado claves efectivas para tener éxito en los negocios.
Finalmente nos trasladamos a la frontera de Colombia y Venezuela. Allí Juanes, el famoso cantante de pop colombiano, organizó un concierto gratis con artistas de Hispanoamérica. Juanes ha hecho de la música un instrumento para causas humanitarias. Días antes del concierto el cantante habla de su compromiso por el entendimiento entre países hermanos y su trabajo por la erradicación de las minas antipersonales.
