I am talking with JUAN GUILLERMO ACEVEDO. He is from Medellín, Antioquia which is in Columbia. When we discussed poverty he said that "there is so much poverty. Some people for their house it is just boards nailed together. Many only have a tarp as a roof. It is not lik in all the pictures of the pretty places. I wish it all looked like the pictures they use to make people want to come visit."
It makes me wonder about the poor here in the United States. Where I live there are poor and people living in poverty, but I have not seen homes in this bad of shape.
This is a video that Juan suggested. it is however not in English, but this is the true Medellin that he knows.
