La solidaridad que conmovió a Colombia tras el terremoto: “Nos quedó agradecimiento con la vida”
Miles de voluntarios buscan a los desaparecidos entre los escombros, ofrecen su conocimiento como psicólogos e ingenieros civiles, y cocinan para quienes perdieron su techo
Colombia demonstrated unity and compassion following a devastating earthquake in the western part of the country, which resulted in the destruction of hundreds of thousands of homes and the deaths of nearly 300 people. Amidst the grief and fear, Colombians discovered that they still have faith in one another. The thousands of rescuers in Pereira, the city with the highest number of fatalities, learned the importance of silence – it was the only way to hear the living and those in need amidst the rubble.
One teenage rescuer from Pereira expressed his feelings to the media, saying, "I will not leave my country alone." As they continue to rebuild, Colombians are reminded that in times of difficulty, they can always rely on each other.
