Throughout our week at Gabo we learned so much about the regions of Colombia. Each class of high school students were divided into regional groups. Angelica tasked the students with coming up with a creative way to share Colombia with us. Boy, did they deliver! Each class focused on a region. Each region was organized by food, dance, music, landforms, climate and culture. We stuffed ourselves on delicious foods from each region! It was inspiring to see what these gifted students could accomplish when left alone to work together. Each presentation was completely student centered. Angelica, their teacher, was equally impressed with the attention to detail as each group moved us through the stations of their region. It was moving and refreshing to see patriotism in this form. Pride poured from each student. It wasn't the "in-your-face", "we are better than you" type of patriotism. It was the pure joy of sharing that made these presentations so special. This love of country was echoed throughout our time in Colombia.
