Finally the Colombian Peace Process in an official ENGLISH version

In the quest to amplify the messages about the ongoing Peace Process in Colombia, the Office of the High Commissioner of Peace has recently launched this new brochure which intention is to give an opportunity for those who have the English language as it's first or second language, to learn about the current peace talks that are being held in the Havana, Cuba. 



The “Learn about the peace process in Colombia” official brochure will show you in a simple and easy way what I tried to explain in my second blog! Hope this helps you all to understand this complicated process a little bit more!

Amazing People Contributing to Colombia’s Peace: César López

The story of César López will be the first of my stories basically because he’s my friend and I really admire his absolute dedication to the cause. He’s a 40-year old musician who is one of the most intense activists seeking ways on how to eradicate the violence that has plagued our country Colombia for more than 50 years.



His contribution to peace in our Country is huge. He has dedicated the last 10 years of his life on delivering music through his “Escopetarras”, which are decommissioned AK-47s converted into guitars. But this is not all, he also created the 24-0 initiative (Twenty four hours with zero violent deaths) which is held in October every year in Colombia, and it’s expanding all over Latin America now.


Here are some videos with his story:
