Photos from Quibdo

Looking through my eyes while I was in Quibdo

This is father Edison
The towns big Catholic cathedral
Our first evening in Quibdo there was an amazing 
storm that brewed as we wandered around the center. 
This picture was taken in a dark street at night just as 
 lightning flashed iluminating this photo.
Way cool.

These next few photos are from the program 
that Father Edison leads.
It is a program of integral education where
the kids learn sports, chess, how to behave and 
work in a team and group, etc.
I photographed many a foul.

a serious talk.
The kids have big personalities
and great smiles
