Salem Walecom, Bonjourno!"(Which languages are these??? Ask your children)

Egypt is, again protesting, while Syria andMali are still at war. Korea is planning tocontinue with their long range missile programand Iran has not relented in their pursuit ofnuclear technology. Mexico is set for strongereconomic growth than the USA or Europewhile India and China are expected to slow

down. This means more unemployment on aworld scale, for up to 2 000 000 people inindustrialised countries. How will this affectLatin America and Colombia? Our world isinterconnected and I urge you to discuss someof these topics with your kids. Being aninternationally minded school, lets lookoutwards as much as we look inwards, atColombia and Valledupar.
