After a long Journey through different cities in ColombiaDon Rafael and his son arrived in Jamundí, Valle.

However, they were ‘rigged’ in Jamundí due to the human warmth that exists among its inhabitants.

“From the moment we arrived in Jamundí we began to meet people and they immediately began to ‘give us a hand’. We started working and saw that it was very different from Cúcuta. For this reason, we decided to stay in Jamundí.”

It was in this municipality where Rafael began to ‘earn a living’. One of his jobs was as a caretaker of cars and motorcycles, which he did only in shifts, since the position did not belong to him.
