"This is how we are. We are good people and it is difficult for us to convince us to Montes, away from the center of Medellín and almost everything. But we do not want to stay on the side of those who, for a long time, have been destroying, corrupted and killing. We are young and we have hope. We do not win just any money but we have hope.
We renounce, a long time ago, to continue studying because we did not know how to see our way to our effort, but we still have hope. The hope of seeing us, one day, turned into people capable of giving our neighborhood everything it deserves. Because, you should know that for people like us, our neighborhood is everything. Our home, our past, our present and our future. We love what we are and love the place where we are. And, although many say that here we kill everyone who dares to come, that is not the truth. You can see yourself. He came, arrived and was photographing our streets, in view of all. And, tell me cuchoDoes something happen to you? Did anyone come and threatened him? Did anyone order him to stop taking his photographs? He already saw no. So do you know what happens? Well, the few who, here move fucking everything, gave us bad reputation to the rest. And we are the rest. And we want to live in peace.
So there is no problem that you take the photograph you asked. It is with pleasure that we allow it. So that the people of their country, and from all over the world, know that they can come when they want. And what you will find here will be good people. Sometimes with a bad face, it's true, but good people the same. Life is hard, but we learned, from our parents, to sit on our complaint will not soften it. "
