Here I am now in Colombia and have arrived safely to the apartment of my organization, called Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), here in Bogota. I flew into this great country last night and am getting my work and life figured out for my time here with FOR. I will be traveling this weekend to the Peace Community in the northwestern area of rural Colombia where I will be living and working for at least the next few months. The Peace Community is located in Apartado outside of San Jose de Apartado and we are based in the village of La Union. The work of FOR in Colombia consists of providing international accompaniment to this local Peace Community and as well as local human rights groups based in Medellin.
Here is the link to the FOR Colombia website for more information: www.forcolombia.org.
I will send out more information soon as I am getting settled. Thanks for your support!
