Thanks to all of you who continue to hang in there with this blog! I am now going to part with my computer for a week and head to the coast for some down time. I am looking forward to reading, relaxing and being with family. I'll post beachy photos in a week!
Things, knock on wood, seem to be settling down here, though another NGO was robbed a little over a week ago called Yira Castro, which is a lawyers' collective that works with displaced people and victims of paramilitary and state violence. We continue to both pray (in our own way) for and advocate for the Colombian government to get to the bottom of what can now be called a rash of break-ins at NHOs who work with threatened people, but no measurable progress has been made in theinvestigations yet. Thanks again to all of you who sent letters to the Colombian government and US Embassy asking them to pay special attention to this case.
Big abrazos...
