Over Easter break, Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) organized a national delegation for Colombians to travel to the northeastern region of the department of Antioquia. The delegation was organized by CPT and by a grassroots organization under the acronym of CAHUCOPANA (Corporation for Humanitarian Action for Peace and Coexistence in Northeastern Antioquia). These two organizations seek to raise awareness about the realities of the armed conflict as well as to defend the human rights of communities who live in the armed conflict zone.
As members of the delegation, we represented the cities of Bogota, Ibague, and Cali.
