The Stories Behind the Tweets, hosted by William Parra, seeks to open a window to the world, to get to the bottom of stories larger than 140 characters. In today's program: 1) The story of Pepinas, Argentina, a small town about 90 minutes from Buenos Aires, where life revolved around the Corecemar cement factory, which closed in 1991. The use of the area for launching Argentina's rockets into outer space has breathed new life and hope into the town; 2) Senior citizens enjoying life and dance in Brazil; 3) In Kenya, Mama Tunza, a woman of humble origins and modest means dedicates her life to taking care of orphans and homeless children. Through the efforts of the Tunza Children's Centre, deprived young people now have a roof over their head, food, and a chance at a future. teleSUR
