Wright Finds Spain Alive with Opportunity
Rosalie Selt reports on Charlie Wright Austin’s AFS student voyage to Colombia. From June orientation in Miami to a 10 week stay in Cali with host family the Guevaras, he notes high prices for cars and real estate, a Catholic, regional culture, six day school weeks, and a coffee driven economy. He observes generous social clubs, a traditional family life, and substantial regional diversity with Bogota, the Caribbean coast, and Cali pursuing distinct arts and industry. He also highlights schooling, youth employment limits, and a rising population alongside coffee wealth and challenges in farming and modernization.
