Gangs As far as gangs are concerned there exists a huge problem in some countries, one of them is Colombia. According to some studies, despite being it one of the richest countries in the World, more than a 60 % of its population lives in extreme poverty. As a result, gangs and drug issues are spreading more and more all over the country, especially in the capital city, Bogotá. Nevertheless, there exists some hope among the new generations. I read an article about an initiative that was created by a guy some years ago. He had taken children from the poverty and taught each of them a musical instrument and set up an orchestra with them. This has been an opportunity for many children to get out from such polluted atmosphere that is predominating in the chanty towns of Colombia. Those children who had never had a goal to reach and had never believed in themselves, to practice these musical skills make them reach a great level of self-confidence and well-being. Although, this initiative has been criticized by other countries arguing that the children are being exploited by their trainers, I truly believe that this kind of movements can really help a country grow, providing that they are supervised by some other organization. Governments should promote as well as support financially any similar movement as much in Colombia as in any other country.
