A Little About Colombia, Cartagena, and Barranquilla

Yiseth, Sonia, and Pancho live in Cartagena, Colombia and Bleidis lives in Barranquilla, Colombia. Cartagena is a city on the northern coast of Colombia and it is known for its rich history and fairy tale beauty. There are many huge churches, cobblestone streets, and horse drawn carriages. Cartegena is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Barranquilla is an industrial port city located in northern Colombia. It is Colombia's largest industrial port city and it is a site of one of the world's largest carnivals. It was Colombia's first port city and is home to Colombia's first airport. It is also home to several universities and has one of the best libraries in Colombia.

But poverty abounds in both cities. This video provides insight into the areas where Children International works to bring about change for poor children.
