Colombia

by Ani Martin

I just read an article that my aunt gave me last Friday night. It is about my country, Colombia, and I met Monica Estrada who wrote it. The article is "LaBelleza Escondida." That means, the hiding beauty.

She wants to give us a positive message from Colombia through her article. I am so glad to read it because sometimes we permit that the negative side of our life cover our positive side of our life, and in this case it happens with COLOMBIA!!!

I know that Colombia is not having a good time but it is going to be much better. It is very important that you know that Colombia is a warm country, beautiful sceneries, it has natural richness, it is one of the few ones that has a lot of diversity of animal and vegetable species. Colombia is recognized for a lot of countries for to grow the best coffee and some tropical fruits. Colombia owns several mines of emerald, copper, and gold.

Is it not enough to be a amazing country? Of course it is.
