This week I received a well-traveled green booklet, titled “Geography Project”. The book belongs to “David”, a 6th grade student in Florissant, MO, who sent it out around October, last year. David asks the recipients of the book to write a little bit about themselves and the place where they live, and then to send […]

El concepto de “ñero” (un colorido personaje de la sociedad Colombiana) es algo que varias veces he intentado explicar a diferentes personas. La mayoría de veces, basta con listar unas pocas características del personaje, e interpretar una corta escena con la voz y expresión facial típica de un ñero.

Para mediados del 2001, yo habia decidido interrumpir mi carrera financiera para explorar campos mas artisticos.
