Bogota, city of 7 million
City of the ciclovia, where 70 miles of city streets are shut down every Sunday as cyclists take to the streets.
It's the city where I'll be headed in February, to join Formando Vidas for the next 2 years in the work they are doing. I'll learn through their Children at Risk school how best to serve children in difficult circumstances. And then, I'll serve them. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me there.
City of the Transmilenio, an innovative bus rapid transit system
City of Rock al Parque, the biggest rock concert in Latin America
The city where the Lasix technique was invented.
But Bogotá is also a city where an average of 23 families who have been internally displaced showed up every day between 2001 and 2006.
It's a city where 1,886 street children were counted in 2006 and another 3,326 were working on the streets.
It's the city where Formando Vidas is working to change kids lives forever.
