Me llamo Muna Annahas, soy Paraguaya, estudie Derecho en la Universidad Nacional de Asuncion (Paraguay), hice un post grado de Derecho civil en Salamanca - España, ejerci la abogacia en Paraguay por un periodo de 3 años antes de mudarme a USA.
Comence mi blog sobre Paraguay en el 2006 y debido a la dificultad de encontrar informacion sobre Paraguay en otro idioma que no sea el español, decidi escribirlo en ingles.
Fui invitada por Global Voices para ser blogger de Paraguay.
Espero que disfruten de aprender un poco mas sobre ese pequeño y hermoso pais llamado Paraguay.
