SUNFLOWER SOWERS TO OVERCOME MINING POLLUTION
With the boys and girls of these mining areas of Boyacá in the central highlands of the country, we have been working workshops that seek to make them aware of the importance of nature that surrounds them and how they can become guardians of water sources, trees, ok, of animals. The coal mining that takes place in these regions pollutes water, land, and the air we breathe. To sensitize these boys and girls in their commitment to defend the planet, we invite them to plant sunflowers, lots of sunflowers in the orchards of the school where they study and to continue empowering themselves, like true vigilante cats in defense of their rights, of the rights of children.

Young miners and peasants sowers of hope
By felix posada | project leader
Young people have undertaken a series of jobs as a result of training workshops received in human rights, social values, appropriation and management of the media. Just as there are superheroes in Hollywood movies, they have also wanted to become superheroes to combat violence against women and children; to protect the environment polluted by the exploitation of coal and to promote in the communities the peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue and reconciliation.
In a puppet show they show the anguish, as young people, of seeing their lives wasted in coal mining, exposed to many dangers and diseases. In another play, they expose the reality of machismo and discrimination in which women live in those territories. All these artistic works seek to motivate the inhabitants of the communities not to resign themselves to accepting the type of life that has been imposed on them, not to lose hope in the possibility of transforming their lives and the patriarchal culture that today dominates in the region.
