HOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC from the AMBASSADOR for children org helping Colombia

http://www.ambassadorsforchildren.org/www2/?action=Trips/details.php&t...

Program Starts Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Program Ends Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Trip Leader: J.R. Pico




Visit a magical, romantic city on the Caribbean Coast of South America: Cartagena de Indias which was founded in 1533 by the Spanish. You will be awestruck by the magnitude of the still existing infrastructure of the Spanish rule which ended in 1810. Explore the grandeur of the more than ten miles of walls surrounding the old city. Enjoy the fortress of San Felipe and the balconies of the colonial streets. The city has the added luxury of being on the equator where the sun bathes the beaches and islands 365 days of the year with a constant temperature between 85 - 95 degrees.

Unfortunately, in this Caribbean treasure within 30 minutes of the bustling, tourist metropolis, live countless children who know nothing of the division of their city into two worlds. One world is a vacation destination for the rich and the other one is a makeshift, poorly-constructed area. The children know nothing of the existence of the other or simply as a vague illusion of huge buildings so distant they are not reachable. Our humanitarian mission focus at this destination is to provide children the opportunity to receive an education who might not otherwise have one. We work with several sustainable projects which are explained in detail in the itinerary.

Colombian children just need a chance to have the same opportunities for education and health care as children in the rest of the world. This program reaches into the homes of children between the ages of 2 and 6 years and draws them into an educational environment that will give them hope for the future and a desire to be educated that they might never have encountered if not for this program.

Come experience the joy of removing the boundaries for these children so their city can become one. All will have the same opportunities to work together to build a better future.

No more No less... Its you prerogative to post this thread though..

Not sure what Elmin is thinking; but it is evident in my view that you want to give this thread more exposure each time that you comment on it. For as you do so it moves the thread once again to the top of the page.

I have also mentioned it in another thread here about this epidemic that is beating Thailand and thanks to our Colombian friends who love to advertise Colombia as a place for this type of tourism.

Monpirri, problems like these are better solved when the public is better informed. I'm with you on this one. Too bad for Thailand; but I would say that those who want to see Colombia more like Thailand in this regard should just go directly to Thailand. In the mean time, let's expose the problem for all to see. These types shun the light of day.

Thanks for your help Darloup.

Darloup, I agree with you and I disagree with you. I agree that sex tourism has been posted here on pbh before but now thanks to many of us who oppose to Colombia being the target of this business, the Colombian Government and the News media have begun to focus on this growing epidemic.

So I recommend that you watch it tonight and believe me it is going to be different from what you have seen here.

Miguel_Clavo says on Jul 5, 2009, 19:39:

Ok, i watched it....hmmm...my thoughts:

1. an Expose on something Colombia which is totally legal..what kind of expose it that? colombian style, i guess.....
2. no mention of the percentage of colombian men who participate
3. photos of couples walking in Cartagena, with the implication they are hookers or prepagos, with out any apparent verification
4. prepagos with their own websites who make $$$
5. no mention of webporn or porn at all.......and the gringo factors such as running these business, clients, etc
6. cops directing gringos to where they can find hookers
7. Cartagena is a tourist town...without tourism, its a pueblo.......the lower paid workers in this town survive on the commission fee economy.....everyone who refers someone to someone expects and usually recieves a commission fee....whether its taxistas, meseros, people on the streets, etc...
8. Medellin, being much larger, probably has more sex workers than Cartagena? Remember, Cartagena is a one horse town....and the area referred to in the expose is limited to about 5 small barrios...
9. Italians, Italians, Italians, Italians.............
10. the question to the italian ST featured: what would you say if colombianos went to italy to have sex with italian women? .....ah...so this is what the expose is all about...colombian men are not happy with other men "taking their women".....and here i thought they were not happy with prostitution etc....

thats enough for now.....


would someone please tell me what the interview with the boat operators was all about? i saw a cruise ship in the background when the interview started, but my chinese food was delivered at this time, so i missed most of it..........

Septimo Dia documentary it's a two part series, part two continues next week.
The documentary targeted Cartagena as the center of the action and Medellin got a break, I say a break because Medellin is the most popular place for tourists from pbh, and of course, we all know that they travel there for the scenery only and for Botero's work.

m_c, it's a multi-part doc, maybe they answer some of the loose ends you pointed out next time.

I caught half of it, and the conclusion that they explicitly draw is this
"Colombia is emerging as a top sex-tourist destination"

and they didn't say whether it was a good or bad thing, but the way they shot it seemed to imply that it was not desirable.

I didn't catch the boat scene, other than when the prepago (or perhaps the presenter) is explaining about how "they come in on boats and cruises" (the sex tourists).

With the amount of dough these girls bring in, it's no wonder they become prepagos. And is it just me, or were some of those man-like women just disgusting? ... and they still make tons of $$$. There must be some very desperate blokes who travel to colombia.

An article in El Pais(Cali) last week highlighted that Cali was becoming a pedophiles destination and the local Colombian authorities were monitoring a worsening situation. It named Spanish and Italian's as the worse offenders. Perhaps a few of these tourists returning in body bags might relieve the situation.

MIR...i agree, that redheaded one interviewed was disgusting and fugly....then the fake blond ones in medellin had to have been TVs.........

anyone here on PBH see their names come up on that prepagos cell phone they displayed?? jajajajja.......
