A committee chose the two best stories that were written by the student Sebastián Carrasco, of the School of Social Communication, and Maryury Mendoza, student of the School of Tourism, both of the UDA.
The two winners traveled to Rosario, Argentina, to present their work, since the "Let's count our Bac-historias" campaign was an essential part of the first intercontinental meeting "Mother Earth, a single health" that took place in that Argentine city of 12 to the 16 of June of 2017.
During the act of launching the book, which also brings together other of the stories selected by the jury, Maryury Mendoza read the story to her audience, entitled "La Curandera".
"This work fulfills an essential objective, to rediscover the heart of science. The search for a greater truth, starting from a sensitization and starting from perceptions and from that which captures the heart, is capable of transforming it later in qualitative analysis, thoughts and also in ideas and materialize in generations of scientific evidence ", concluded Arturo Quizhpe, coordinator of React.
