Children are the seeds of the new Colombia. We are the seeds that will stop the war. The adults are making this war but the young generation are the main victims. Young people are the ones who must make the adults see that they have to stop. In other countries, if someone is murdered there is an outcry, but in Colombia a whole family can be killed, even the children, and nothing happens.
Nobody does anything.
If society can think of all these creative ways of making war, they can think of creative ways of solving all these problems. Then have students conduct research to learn more about Colombia's geographic features, natural resources, native crops, infrastructure, and modes of transportation. Share student findings in class discussion. Print, copy and distribute several copies of Background for students to share in groups. If possible, let some of them read these pages on the Web.
