With the support Solidary Foundation, and especially the president Mr.[1] Paul Chehade, on December 19 of 2009, we celebrated in Cali, Colombia with more than 100 children, the Christmas novena.[2] All the assistants enjoyed food, candies, ice creams, gifts, and a complete day of recreation.[3] This could not be possible without the kindness of the volunteers; we would like to give special thank to them.[4] We mention the dedication of Ms.[5] Mar and iacute;a Victoria Calder and oacute;n and Ms.[6] Angela Calderon.[7] In this special Saturday we thank the generosity of Mr.[8] Chehade who year after year, has sent us scholastic gifts, clothes, medicine, equipment to give to these less lucky children.[9] We hope that Good continue giving Mr.[10] Chehade many blessings, so he can continue his amazing labor of faith, hope, and ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Fri Oct 14 09:12:54 2011 by Mel:&lt;br&gt;I am sure that many of these children who experienced this benefit at Christmas time will never forget it and always assosiate Christmas as a time for giving as a result of the selfless actions of these individuals in this group.[1] I know that there is much criticism of projects which are done on holidays, because the argument is that they should be done all the time, and yet you really can't ignore the impact such holiday events have. ... </description>

<title> Language Schools Learn Spanish in Colombia</title>
<description>&lt;b&gt;Language Schools&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;; Language Schools; Learn Spanish in Colombia.&lt;/i&gt; By Moses Jackson 1 comments. Well, "language" schools in Colombia can mean learning Spanish or learning English.[1] For learning Spanish, recommended because the Spanish spoken in Colombia is just about the best grammatically speaking, there is a wide fan of possibilities.[2] You have "Language in Action", "Language Immersion vacations", "El Paraiso", and many more.[3] Just dive into the internet and you will find anything.[4] If it s learning English, well, that s another matter.[5] You have the ubiquitous Berlitz leading the way.[6] But that is not the only choice, there are plenty of possibilities.[7] Among those choices are what type of language learning method is used: do you learn by speaking or by studying the grammar and the vocabulary Basic questions. ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Fri Oct 14 08:07:00 2011 by Mel:&lt;br&gt;I much prefer, when learning a language, to do it by immersion.[1] First taking a small crash course in the basic phrases, grammar and rules to know, and then just talking with people and getting to know them, learning words day by day and using them, and then adding to it by attempting to read simple books, moving on to harder ones as my vocabulary increases.[2] Oh, and watching TV in the language too. ... </description>

<description>&lt;b&gt;Crime, Safety and Security&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;; Crime, Safety and Security; Poison and Antidote: a look into violence in Colombia.&lt;/i&gt; By Val from Warren, Ohio 3 comments. Brazilian director Estev and atilde;o Ciavatta's documentary Poison and Antidote: a look into violence in Colombia shows Colombia and acute;s quest for pathways to peace, amidst a violent internal conflict.[1] Within the past 10 years, Colombia has become a reference in public safety policies.[2] Bogot and aacute; and Medell and iacute;n, which until the 90 and acute;s were examples of chaos and urban violence, have managed to control crime rates within the last decade.[3] The country, however, is still experiencing an intense armed conflict, which broke out over 40 years ago.[4] The apparent tranquility of the two main Colombian urban centers clashes with the conflicts in the rural areas.[5] In the small towns and in the countryside, paramilitaries, the guerilla and the governmental forces are fighting a bloody battle for ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Wed Oct 12 06:39:25 2011 by Mel:&lt;br&gt;I think in answer to the question is it possible to be neutral in a war, then that depends upon you as a person.[1] If you are afraid for your safety most of all, then it can be difficult to be neutral, as neither side will easily believe your neutrality.[2] On the other hand, if you wish to be neutral as a matter of principle, yes, I believe you can, but with great difficulty. ... </description>

<description>&lt;b&gt;Cost of Living&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;; Cost of Living; Going out in Bogota.&lt;/i&gt; By Weston Haynes 1 comments. Generally speaking food prices are about the same world-wide.[1] I travel a lot and am thinking of retiring to Colombia, specifically to live in Bogota, its beautiful capital.[2] One thing mainly, the climate is awsome.[3] One negative, the height, I am told that it is not good for you.[4] Anyway, I don t feel it and I am happy.[5] Cost of living My apartment in one of the best areas of Bogota is almost the same as an equivalent in my town, Dallas.[6] In South American when buying clothes see if the things are imported, because if they are, they will be more expensive than local manufacture.[7] As far as food is concerned, I find it much less expendive that the U.S.[8] In Colombia, especially the beef is very reasonable.[9] As far as dining out, our favorite activity, it is a gift compared to the U.S.[10] Cheers ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Sun May 22 09:59:03 2011 by Philippe Castro:&lt;br&gt;It is important to take into consideration the cost of living in a certain area.[1] This is to help budget your money from all your necessities and leisure.[2] Of course, a place with reasonable prices of food is a big factor.[3] Well, all of us need food to live and we spend much of our money just for food.[4] So you should be wise in choosing the best place to stay and spend the rest of your life ... </description>

I travelled to Colombia some time ago, and will never forget it.[1] Actually I arrived in Bogota, and spent a week there, then headed out to the countryside.[2] We went down to the Amazon rainforest area and had a great time exploring the huge national park there, the Tayrona National Park, in Magdalena District.[3] Then we backtracked all the way up to Bucaramanga, capital of Santander, where a meeting was being held at the University.[4] Bucaramanga is a very pleasnt and beautiful place and I would love to go back there some day.[5] One of the things that I really remember were the sirloin steaks I had there, I think at the Unno Steak House.[6] Then, after dinner head for one of the bars for the best "rumba" in town.[7] God bless all.[8] Cheers ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Mon May 16 10:11:42 2011 by Philippe Castro:&lt;br&gt;Thanks for sharing this information regarding Colombia.[1] My friends and I are planning to go there soon.[2] I'll consider all your favorite spots as our first destinations.[3] Are there many affordable accommodations in the place What are the best delicacies that they have I wonder what's like living in Colombia.[4] Oh well, I'm staying there for about a week and I'm really excited.[5] Thank you very much and have a nice day ... </description>
