Colombia’s Big Plan to Bring Neighborhoods Together 🏘️
Hey there! Have you ever noticed how some neighborhoods seem wealthier than others? In Colombia, a country in South America, this has been a big issue. For a long time, rich people lived in certain areas, while others were less wealthy. This is called economic segregation—a fancy term that means people with different amounts of money live apart from each other.
But now, Colombia’s president has a new idea! He wants to end this separation and bring everyone closer together. 🎉 It’s like mixing all the colors in a crayon box to create something beautiful!
For many years, Colombia tried to help by giving extra support to some neighborhoods. But sometimes, this actually made the problem worse. Instead of fixing things, it kept people divided.
The president’s plan is to change this system. By ending the old way of doing things, he hopes everyone can share the same opportunities, no matter where they live. Imagine if every playground was just as fun, every school was just as good, and every park was just as green! 🌳
This big change isn’t easy, but it’s a step towards a Colombia where everyone feels like they belong, and neighborhoods aren’t divided by how much money people have.
What do you think about this plan? How can communities come together to make sure everyone feels included? 🤔
