La Victoria is a barrio where Rubiela and her 6 brothers and sisters live, most of them in a house that their mum made. When I lived in Bogotá I travelled here every week but it wasn't a safe place to spend time. It has really changed! The open sewers have been changed into a lovely lawn and there are now great community areas like this basketball court. We met up with Yanira, Rubiela's sister, and her 3 boys. Despite language difficulties the children all loved playing together. The views are amazing in this city, surrounded by lush green mountains! The weather is always like this cloudy and bright, bright sunshine with rain on and off all the time.
