Colombia is a thriving country that is full of adventure and excitement. The geography of the country is incredibly diverse with mountains, deserts, oceans, and more to discover. The country is on the rise economically and it is amazing to feel the energy that is pulsing through the capital city of Bogota.

There is a certain buzz running throughout the country and you can feel the energy and passion of Colombians after 5 minutes of talking to them. People here are willing and enthusiastic to help foreigners out and it’s great to be so welcomed and supported in a foreign country.

This project is a new initiative that is going to have such an important and powerful impact on Colombia. Students have the chance to interact with foreigners in a safe and interactive setting and discover about the world outside their own borders without having to leave.

The multicultural aspect is so beneficial to these public school kids and the teaching is much more innovative than traditional curriculum they encounter. For this reason, kids are more inclined to be interested in the classes. It is not every day you have the chance to directly impact a young student’s future.

This experience has opened my eyes to the realities of life in Colombia while allowing me the incredible privilege of having a direct impact on the youth of the nation.
