I'm particularly interested in doing fund-raising work for the "Open Arms Foundation" or perhaps "Let The Children Live" or "Poder Joven" I'm wondering if anyone knows of them, or if anyone can give some criticism, positive or negative, of specific NGOs working with homeless children in Colombia. Any advice at all on researching charities without actually being able to visit the country would be a big help.
Modest Needs is a registered charity which helps low income people who need money urgently to overcome an unexpected financial emergency like payment of utility bills, medical bills or repairs. Persons residing in USA and Canada can apply for assistance.

I have to come up with a Topic for an essay about the country Colombia. I have to come up with a problem, but can't find any. Is there a problem that you know of that is happening in Colombia?
When did the war that has lasted 42 years in Colombia start?
#1 - Poverty, this was the main reason why guerillas came to be
# 2 - Violence - Guerillas, Narco-traffic, street violence
# 3 - Drugs - the money from this problem finances the guerillas and buys corruption at all levels
However, it is a beautiful country full of great people and we cope with all of this amazingly well…

More specifically, I want to open a savings account that allows me to access the money from Colombia if I ever want to.
you can try an international bank like CitiBank or HSBC
or…
you can have a regular bank account from the US and use your ATM card in any ATM
or…
use an online account like ING.com

How are the girls in Barranquilla and Santa Marta Colombia? Are they friendly and easy to approach by men?
No. It is a well-known fact that they are all very suspicious, and almost all of them own and carry a weapon. It is actually almost impossible to approach them if you are of the opposite sex. I know because I have a friend who lives there so I have spent many months there.

Plan Colombia. YOU pay for it. How many people does it kill? How many innocent civilians, peasants? Does your tax money pay for genocide?

If you pay the people who murder unionists and peasants, aren't you a murderer?
this is the most "stupid" question I´ve ever seen. If u are colombian let me tell you that US just helps with money or with people who work for example in the radar stations. if u are not colombian, come here and learn the situation from the citizent´s point of view

I once read an article that said it was Ten Trillion dollars and that that was higher than the US'. Is this possible? What is the GNP or GDP of Colombia and the USA, respectively. Is Ten trillion dollars a ludicrus amount of money? Could the Cocaine business be bringing in that much? How much do you think for US relations, and, how much in the UK, and Europe, and what about globally?
Colombia has a GNP of $156,900,000,000. That is the legal GNP.

I watched the Sub 20 SA and thought Colombia was spectacular but young. Will any of these young stars be on the cup team and will they qualify in the toughest group in the world?
U must be smoking crack. You shouldn't be allowed to comment in this section. Ever heard of Valderama? I wont even answer.
YES COLOMBIA WILL ROCK THE NEXT WORLD CUP!

Are we moving a carrier strike force into the region? Do you think we will intervene on behalf of Colombia?
just a diplomatic watchful eye, the only one that may be a problem would be Chavez and his troop movements and rhetoric are just a big bluff the guy is a paper tiger, trying to impress achmidinajad, in iran,

I just was wondering what are the most dangerous parts in Colombia, places with a lot of crime, drug trafficking and things like that.
Choco is very dangerous right now. Any of the jungle areas that join Ecuador and/ or Venezuela is dangerous right now. Huila and surrounding areas is dangerous. Buenaventura is a dangerous place. Bogota, Medellin, Baranquilla, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Villavicencio are pretty safe.EDIT: for the person below me. Move out of you moms basement.
