    Extractions: Photography by Greg Puls In her personal life, Carmen DeRusha is known among friends for the open arms she extends to her party guests. In her role as president of Fiesta Indianapolis, she wants immigrants to the city to feel the same way: that they are welcomed with open arms. DeRusha realizes central Indiana's ever-growing number of Latin-American immigrants might feel isolated in what is a foreign country to them. She knows that because she has experienced it. The 41-year-old emigrated from Colombia in 1986 to marry Connecticut-resident Stanley DeRusha, now the director of orchestral activities at Butler University and resident conductor for the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. When she moved to North America, her inability to speak English turned simple pleasures into dreaded chores. For example, she couldn't shop for clothes without her husband, who spoke Spanish, because she couldn't read any of the signs or tags. She didn't know the difference between juniors, petites, misses and women's. "It's like you need to learn all the basic skills all over again," she says of her baptism-by-fire orientation to the country. Fortunately, her husband's colleagues at the University of Hartford made her feel at home in the United States. One couple in particular made a point of inviting the family to celebrate holidays and special events, and showed interest in Colombian culture. DeRusha sees Fiesta Indianapolis as a similar vehicle - to help immigrants feel comfortable in their new community.

24. COLOMBIA THE SECOND TERROR FRONT?
    Araujo, excolombian culture minister, slain By JARED KOTLER Associated PressWriter. BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) Former Culture Minister Consuelo Araujo,  
    http://www.amigospais-guaracabuya.org/oagld006.php
    
    Extractions: A test of Castro's intentions in the terror war. It is very apparent that the FARC guerrillas are trying to show their strength and ruthlessness, by slaughtering a former woman minister and wife of an important Colombian official while "negotiating with" that same government (see footnote below). Apparently, the leadership of these guerrillas believse that the US, busy with Bin Ladin, will not respond by further support of the Colombian government. One could also conclude from the information in the footnote below, that the Colombian narco-guerrillas are using the present situation in the US as a cover to expand their terror base. It is possible or even probable that these guerrillas plan to establish a second international terror front, by linking up with Venezuela (already a Colombian guerrilla official has been discovered hidden among Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's guard and photographed whispering in his ear) .. In addition, this may well be a sign that Castro who is extremely close to these guerrillas it is not only a ideological thing for he helps supply and he shelters their diplomats, couriers and wounded has decided to join in the terror war. As a measure of intentions this is quite serious test of the Cuban government. One can be sure that the Cuban government will at best say words condemning this murder of this high-profile, well-connected, Colombian woman. If not even these words are articulated and there is no follow through on the part of the Cuban government it may well be taken to indicate that Castro, as well as these guerrillas have joined to make a second world wide terror front.

    Extractions: Research Paper The United States and Colombia hold a lot of similarities in geography, history, culture, economy, and politics. For example, both countries are naturally beautiful, in both countries you can find White, black, Indian, Mixed Black-Amerindian, and Amerindian people; the main aspects of nonverbal communications are very similar, both are capitalistic societies, in both countries exist upper, middle, and lower class, both are nation-states, and both are democratic countries. However, the huge difference that distinguishes the United stated from Colombia is that Colombia is a small poor country, while the United States is a big country and one of the richest of the world. The cultural differences between both countries have been matched from the past. Colombian ' s cultural background was largely based in Spanish culture, and the United States ' cultural background was largely based in Western European culture. Nowadays, the differences between both cultures can be seen in aspects as family structre and religion. Differences in the way both countries manage their economy and politics is also different. For example, the role that union organizations, together with recognition of the right to strike play in the United States is different than the role that those play in colombia. There is also a huge difference in the way the power have been structurized in both countries. I will begin my report by locating both societies geographically; then, I will briefly indicate the histories of both countries; later, I will describe the two cultures; and finally, I will describe the two political systems.

    Extractions: MOYERS: When Joseph Campbell was just nine years old he came to the Museum of Natural History here in New York and his mind was exploded by the pre-Colombian art that he saw there... NAVA: Yes. MOYERS: ...and the totem poles, the masks, all of that that had come down from the stories of the past. And his life was changed by that. Were there myths that changed your life? NAVA: Yes, very, very much so. You know, when I was a young man I went to central Mexico in order to study pre-Colombian culture, Spanish, and to get in touch with my roots because I was Mexican but I was born in the United States and I wanted to go on a journey so I could find my roots, find who I was in a sense... ...because you know, living in the United States, being raised with the Mickey Mouse Club, it's all great, but you feel suddenly in your heart that something has been lost in this journey. So I went there and I studied. And a world opened up for me that was extraordinary. Ever since I was a child I've always loved mythology. I've always been attracted to mythological stories.

    Extractions: Bedford Journal - October 14, 2004 Some adopted children never learn, or want to learn, about their origins. This was not the case, however, for 33-year-old Chris Hallock, who grew up in Bedford. For Hallock, who documented his search for his birth mother in Colombia earlier this year with a video camera and help from a film director in that country, there was never a shortage of questions about where he came from. Only a painful absence of real answers. A cultural identity Growing up in Bedford after his adoptive family moved here when he was in second grade, Hallock attended Memorial School before going on to graduate from Manchester West High School in 1989. During those years, issues about his Colombian identity remained an afterthought. One of his neighbors was Costa Rican, his parents encouraged him to take Spanish lessons, and he took Spanish classes in school, but he never felt compelled to follow through with any of it, he said. When he left Bedford to study business management at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, though, thoughts about his identity became more pressing. He started to wonder where he fit in and began to try to make sense of his Colombian heritage.

Through education and performance of folkloric ballet, CFB's mission is to foster self-esteem and discipline among youth, create an open forum of cultural exchange, and dispel the myths and misconceptions that surround the image of Colombia.

Since its inception, the CFB has been actively promoting the Colombian folklore throughout the United States. The CFB has been recognized as the most authentic expression of Colombian folklore in the United States and has toured and performed throughout Texas and several American cities. In addition to its regular dance performances, CFB also presents workshops at high schools, colleges and universities, churches and community centers to acquaint the Greater Houston community with the music, dance, costumes, crafts, food and traditions of the Colombian culture.
