Week5 Assign2 S Brieden
I have found that the people of Medellin are very proud, both
the rich and to poor. Many people in
Medellin are poor. There is a very small area where there are wealthy people. Juan informed me that he knew a family that
left their home to go to the market and came back and her house was wiped away.
Medellin, in August
has a Feria de las Flores or Flower Festival. . Juan says that this is the one time that Medellin comes
together.
Juan gave me a website where I learned the Medellin has of
30 Universities. There are many programs
in place to help educate the poor. Some of the programs are:
1.
Program: Nobody Is Out Purpose
2.
Childhood Education
3.
Educative Benefits for Access and Permanence
4.
Public Service for Everyone and Respect for
Diversity
There are also program to get more people able to go to college

The resources that you have listed above seems to be a great alternative for families to access help educate the poor or less advantage. I enjoy knowing that the disadvantage is receiving good from sources to help improve their quality of life.
