Interviewed by Ser Catalunya while volunteering in Anantapur (India).

While I was in Anantapur, I was interviewed by the radio station Ser Catalunya, specifically for the programme "Tot és comèdia". They came to Anantapur to visit the facilities of the Vicente Ferrer Foundation and spoke to many professionals working there - Indian and Spanish workers as well as volunteers. 

The art of Mehndi

I am almost 100% positive that most of you have seen henna tattoos on people's bodies at least several times in your lives. The thing is that you don't need to be in India in order to see them - you can be anywhere in the world. The more I travel, the more I realise that this Indian tradition has conquered the hearts (and the eyes) of people from all over the world. For that reason, I know that you don't need to come to India to see them... As a islander that I am, I have seen henna stands on many Majorcan beaches. What I had never seen before is, nonetheless, the huge variety of henna tattoos that one can get, how imaginative and original the designs can be, how precise their shapes and how quick their makers.
