    Many refugee families lack a source of income, yet fishing along the mangroves provides self-sustenance as well as products to sell at the local market. Unfortunately, Ecuadorian authorities claim that the communities here are exploiting mangrove resources and must be evicted. In this photo, a notice on the wall warns residents of actions to enforce their eviction. by: tenzijth Views[886] A large portion of the refugees in San Lorenzo live near the mangroves in stilt houses. As the tides rise, the floor beneath the houses are cleaned of debris and waste. The wooden boards that lead to and between the houses test ones balance, especially after heavy rain. Pictured here, a young boy is helped up by his siblings after falling from the house where he lives. by: tenzijth Views[1695] Children are everywhere. Many are sent to school during the day, others do not attend school and spend their time playing and swimming at the dock. On the warmest of days, the dock is slick with water as youngsters take turns launching themselves into the water below. by: tenzijth Views[745] Refugees arriving by boat land at this dock, on the shores of San Lorenzo. Having fled various forms of persecution, including forced recruitment, Colombian refugees find relative safety here. Yet life in San Lorenzo is far from easy. Discrimination, unemployment, and fear of being arrested or detained are constant threats. by: tenzijth Views[1004] San Lorenzo, a town along Ecuador's northern coast, is a sanctuary to thousands of Colombian refugee families that have fled their homes due to persecution. by: tenzijth Views[1003]

    Green is everywhere in the rain forest of el Chocó. I took this picture, frighten about falling into the water, not because of me, because of my camera, but it was worth it, the people of the region took me through this beautiful river, everything was quite, except the birds and the trees. The texture of the canoe and the movement of the rope in it are very important, but the most important thing is the pureness of green. by: iamcolombia Views[826] This pohoto was took in Chocó too. The funny thing here is that the houses are only painted in the front, because is what tourist see. The contraste between the girl and the yellow wall captured my attention, but the beautiful contrast between the yellow and the grey walls, are what made me be more proud about my photo. by: iamcolombia Views[1007] This picture was taken in Chocó, maybe the most poor place in Colombia. This was the day I came, in the “biggest“ city of the region. The sea is always changing, and when the tide is low, children get into the sea and play and try to fish. by: iamcolombia Views[891] I was visiting Barú, the place with more contrast of rich and poor people I´ve ever seen. I was trying to get somewhere because I was lost and no one, in the “rich“ side of the island help me. Then I got more into the island and entered to the town, and these is what I saw. Of course these family helped me get my way, and I got the chance to know these beautiful people. The boy was taking “a shower“ into a pot, actually he was crying and the reflection of their house is visible in his eyes. by: iamcolombia Views[1602] This tiny frog is looking at my camera while I take this picture. Camouflage is what I see, and beauty of the simplicity of nature. This picture was taken in Boyacá, Colombia. by: iamcolombia Views[1478]
     
    A young boy watches as the ground is turned in preparation for a new crop in the upcoming months. by: marshalchupa Views[687] A world away from technology, a little girl finds the simplest of entertainment. by: marshalchupa Views[729] The children were seen as that gatekeepers of the village and this little girl bares the keys to unlock the latch on her family’s mud hut. by: marshalchupa Views[1074] A village constructed from mud, sticks, and palm is home to the roaming children in white. They pop in and out of the little huts only to disappear all at once, leaving the village feeling like a lost world. by: marshalchupa Views[1468] The Kogi children are nothing like I’ve seen before. Not only does this little girl bare the responsibility to her two younger siblings but also to provide for her family by sowing their traditional Mochila used for collecting coca leaves. by: marshalchupa Views[1040]

    Doing business in the Gethsemane district of Cartagena by: runawayvolunteer Views[793] Having a mud bath at the Volcan de Lado, near Cartagena by: runawayvolunteer Views[1375] Taking a break during a typically hot afternoon in Cartagena, Colombia by: runawayvolunteer Views[508] The town of Mompos, Colombia, on the Magdalena River, used to be even grander and more prosperous than Cartagena. But trade routes shifted, business moved out of town, and the town is left with only faded memories of its glory. by: runawayvolunteer Views[1253] The bright colours and friendly faces of Cartagena, Colombia by: runawayvolunteer Views[605]
