Eduardo Kobra 2018: 10-12

The "tween" years are almost as bad as the terrible two's, but Eduardo Kobra pushed through the seasonal change in NYC, and kept focused on his colorful mission. These nation of immigrants (both North and South America), are going through an uncomfortable struggle at this time, but is no different than past indifferences. In this next group, Kobra reminds us of the array of cultures that make up our fabric, and the type of uncommon heroes that arise in trying times.
