Peaceful Sunday

Yesterday was beautiful. Millions of us in over 60 countries around the world marched together for peace and the release of the hostages held here in Colombia. It was also a beautifully historic celebration of our Independence Day.

"A Dios le Pido" was sung in Paris and "La Gota Fría" en Leticia. Simultaneous concerts lasted until nearly 5.00 p.m. in Cali, Medellín, Barranquilla, Bogotá, and many other cities across the country. Time will tell whether our cries for freedom for the hostages will be heard, but the world can no longer be in doubt as to what our hearts believe.
