From Guatemala to Colombia
Following our program in Guatemala, I set sail for Colombia. Of course by “set sail” I really mean that boarded a United Airlines flight to Bogota; “set flight” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it though.
So far my work in Colombia has been wonderful. Moreover, the work that I have been doing here is largely been a continuation of the work that my group did in Guatemala. Like in Guatemala, my focus area in Colombia is economic development. Unlike traditional economic development plans that have been implemented in Colombia, however, my goal is to continue incorporating the community approach to development that we used in Guatemala.
