9 months of adventure is about to end. Last week we had our final goodbye with the volunteers in Meta, before leaving to Bogotá where we will be working our last week. We had a great farewell party with the volunteers and employees in Meta, where we served cake and showed them a video we […]
The 17th of May is Norway’s national day. We were invited to the Norwegian Embassy celebration and spend the whole day celebrating with other Norwegians, Norwegian/Colombians and Colombians. This year is something special for the Norwegians, because not only were we celebrating our national day but also celebrating that it has been 200 years sins […]
So I guess we have finally grown up as youth delegates, because last weekend we went by ourselves to different districts. Cecilia went to Guaviare, and I went to Guainía, and I have to admit it was a little scary to be going off alone when you have spent the rest of the time working […]

We arrived the city with great expectations, knowing it is the countries salsa capital and having heard that the Red Cross District Valle del Cauca is one of the strongest in the country.

In the last weekend we had a visit from our chief in Norway, Sigri Nilsen. This was something we had been waiting for and we were excited for her visit. She also went to visit the new host district, Cali, and was very impressed about the work they do there and the possibilities for […]
As in any school in the world, bullying can be a big problem, also here in Colombia. A very efficient volunteer in Neiva, Naya Solano, wanted to start a project directed towards the work against bullying.
