Expresate (Express Yourself) is written by Xady, from La Loma in Colombia (read the original Spanish language version here).

To get a closer look at life in Colombia read The other side of the Flower Fair and find out what goes on behind the famous Medellin flower show. And to be reminded that life in Colombia is not always easy, read this striking post about getting to see a doctor.

This blog is part of a group called ConVerGentes (rough translation would be something like ConVoPeople) which was supported by a Rising Voices project.

And now we have a question for you: there are many blogs the world, like this one, which are not written in English. We’d like to know what you think about using translation tools (like Google Translate) to read these blogs. Write a comment or fill in the poll on our homepage.
