Yourvuz - Home is where you make it

Starting in the 1950s, the Colombian conflict between the state and the FARC guerrillas caused the displacement of millions of families from their homes across the country. Many ended up taking up residence on the hillside of the mountains south of the nation's capital, Bogotá. Nowadays, Ciudad Bolívar (one of the world's largest mega-slums) concentrates the poorest population in Bogotá and is known for its rampant levels of violence, but its inhabitants are proud of where they live and strive everyday to make it their home. I can't imagine what it was like to have to abandon everything you've ever known and lived to flee your home, but all too many Colombians do, and are thankful for whatever they have now.
