The new year in Colombia is an exacting experince... we have a tradition of burning the old year or "Año Viejo" represented in a human figure. Everything starts with the construction of the doll. Someone gives his/her tshirt another person gives the trouser and so on...When the human figure is done, we take it around the neighbourhood like a dead body....We cry for the Año Viejo who is going...but at the same time everyone is happy for the Año Viejo who is going away taking with him the bad spirit.....At misnight we burn it and run aroun our houses wating for a god new year.....

si yo tuviera mucho dinero ayudaría a los pobres y regalaria cosas a los intitutos arreglaría los parques, llevaría a mi familia a biajar estudiaria y me compraria un carro y muchas cosas para mi y para mi familia me compraria una manción donde tuviera artos animales y compraria artas almacenes donde trabajara la jente.

The following updates are a group of relexions about the easy money youth subculture impose by an long last narcodemocracy in Colombia. The children's coments are the resault of a one year Project. A project of cultural and visual literacy directed by Amichai Tahor in which, a group of children of Nutrir Pereira made one million colombian pesos. A game of faking money and writing about what the colombian children would do with their first million.
