Peace activists in Buenos Aires, Colombia

Meet the young Colombians building a peaceful future

This series of photos shows how young people in Colombia are taking the lead to build peace and trust in their communities after 50 years of civil war.

An exceptional journey: from sponsored child to member of the International Committee

Colombia is a country with many inequalities and great extremes between wealth and poverty. Today it is still a part of the world’s countries list with the highest Gini coefficient. However, Colombia is full of vibrating stories, joyful and successful, like the one of Carlos Aparicio that seems to be a fairy tale: the one kind starting with “once upon a time” and finishing with “they lived happily ever after”.

You can breathe in new initiatives, will of change, there’s movement, and desire for things to change. The girls and boys are motivated and are active in the construction for peace in their daily lives, in their family, in school and through different PLAN projects.
