Lola Almudevar: a tribute

On Sunday 26 November, BBC journalist Lola Almudevar was killed in a car crash to the south of the Bolivian city of La Paz. Four other people also died.

The 29-year-old began working for the BBC in 2002 and started working in Bolivia six months ago. She produced several reports for BBC Radio 4's From Our Own Correspondent.

A listener to the programme suggested it would be a lovely tribute if the BBC could put some of her previous work on the website. So here are three of her pieces as they were broadcast at the time.

8, SEPTEMBER, 2007: BATTLE FOR BOLIVIA'S HEART

Read her report

Since the 1890s, La Paz and Sucre have shared the title of Bolivia's capital. However, proposals to transfer executive and legislative government to Sucre have resulted in demonstrations in both cities and a crisis for President Evo Morales.

In Sucre, Lola Almudeva experiences tensions and clashes between police and protesters over where the country's capital should be.

18, OCTOBER, 2007: BOLIVIA'S ABANDONED CHILDREN

Read her report

In Bolivia, a weak economy and a shortage of jobs means some parents are moving abroad to find work and earn money for their families.

But Lola Almudevar, who is in the south eastern city of Santa Cruz, says some of the children left behind by the migrant workers are suffering serious social and psychological problems.

1, NOVEMBER, 2007: EL ALTO'S VIGILANTE VIOLENCE

In the sprawling tenements of El Alto, on the fringes of the capital La Paz, there has been a series of violent public protests. Brothels and bars have been ransacked and suspected criminals have been lynched.

Lola Almudevar says that the government has now become involved but, despite its efforts, it may not be easy ending this wave of vigilante violence.
