A letter from Colombia

By Christian Vásquez Rojas

HI MY NAME IS CHRISTIAN , and I live in the country of Colombia, which is in South America. I have olive-brown skin, dark hair, and I'm of medium height for someone who is ten years old.

Most of the time I try to be loving and act responsibly. And other people say I'm a friendly and cooperative kid.

I think I'm really good at drawing. I like to draw pictures to show how rich and beautiful nature is—especially in South America. I want everyone in the world to enjoy nature and know it well so they understand that we shouldn't destroy it. My favorite animals are mice, spiders, and snakes. And because we have two oceans in Colombia—the Atlantic and the Pacific—I like everything that has to do with the sea.
