the warmest month, November. In winter, it’s

about 7oC in the coldest month, but it’s much
drier than the warmer summers, the driest
month being June.
For a long time, El Alto was a residential area
housing the workers from La Paz, with little
industry of its own, but this has changed over
the last 20 years or so. The city now even has a
special day when they celebrate the date when
politicians decided that El Alto should have its
own city council (March 6th 1985) and when El
Alto became an independent city.

THE HIGHEST CITY IN THE WORLD

The city of El Alto (a Spanish word meaning
‘the high place’) is the world’s highest city at
4,150 m above sea level. It is Bolivia’s second
biggest city, after Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and
has a population of around one million. The
South American country also has the world’s
highest capital city, La Paz.
Strangely, the city of El Alto didn’t even exist
until 1903, when the railway passing from
Lake Titicaca to La Paz arrived. It has very
few historical buildings, unlike the nearby La
Paz, which started life 400 years earlier.
The first school opened in 1939, mainly for the
children of railway workers who lived there.
The city grew enormously in the 1950s when it
became connected to the water pipes that came
under the ground from La Paz. Until then,
water had to be brought to El Alto in lorries.
The majority of people in El Alto are not of
Spanish origin, but are Aymara people, who
lived in Bolivia before Europeans arrived. The
city’s traffic police officers, are largely
Aymara women dressed in traditional brightly-
coloured skirts and shirts, which seems an
unusual sight to most outsiders.
The climate there is cool. Even in summer, the
maximum daytime temperature is only 17oC in

Hayley isn’t alone in thinking this, but there are, of

course, many adults who do want to pass on their
experience and knowledge. In fact, some of them
have now set up a website and mobile phone app
called Daily Respect to do just that. So how does it
work?
‘It’s easy!’ says Geraint Tillotson, the man who
started Daily Respect, the organisation that
provides the app and website. ‘You download the
app and then you get a daily message through the
app about an issue that’s important for many
teenagers. If you then want to find out more, there
will be a link to the relevant section of our website
which will give much more detail about the
subject.’ Daily Respect contacted over a thousand
teens to get their ideas on which subjects to cover
before they even started the site, and now ask their
app and website users to email them ideas for other
topics they could cover. ‘The most popular area of
the site are the pages about relationships,’ explains
Tillotson. ‘But problems at school including
bullying are not far behind. An area that’s growing
fastest are probably the pages about problems
online – you know, cyber-bullying and abuse on
sites like Facebook.’
The site and messages aim not to judge young
people but to provide simple, practical information
to help them make good decisions and so get as
much as possible from life.
‘We aim to supply information so that teenagers
can make their own decisions, free of other
peoples’ opinions,’ says Geraint. ‘No advice is
given, just information, so we won’t tell you what
you should do – we will give you the tools to
manage situations yourself, or with support.’
If you are interested in getting the daily messages,
look for the free app in your usual app store. To
visit the website, click on the link here – what have
you got to lose?
