Peace Keepers – Youth in Colombia #TMMWVC
I travelled with World Vision Canada as a guest so I could tell these stories.
This week I am sharing my posts from my trip with World Vision Canada. These are two youths, Peace Keepers, we met in an area called Taminango, near Santander De Quilichao. They were incredibly inspiring. You can read about them tomorrow. You can read all of my stories if you follow my hashtag #TMMWVC or follow my blog and read about some of the incredible work being done in Colombia.
Peace Keepers is a unique program here in Colombia that builds strong youth through activities and supervision. After school these amazing young men supervise a large group of youth playing soccer and things like that. Staying active and involved means that they are not prey to criminals. Nor do they get involved in drugs.

It is nice to see that, as Peace Keepers, they are NOT wearing guns… Paula, did you ever feel afraid while there or was it very safe?
