We will like to thanks ALL of you by been present during the international kite festival held in Colombia. Your passion for kites made possible that our country understands the importance of kites. By your presence in the Simon Bolivar Park it was possible to gather 1.150.000 people (number given officially by the police) around the Plaza de Eventos admiring your dexterity and power. The workshops with youngestrs and children have given a possitive result by creating new kiteflyers. Your presence in Medellin, where we miss some of you, made new relations. For us, we keep going with kite festivals in Cali, Tulua, Ibague and Manizales. Be the wind always with you!!!!! [ Ines, Yaripa ]

WE ARE REALLY HAPPY TO MEET YOU, CAUSE WE ARE OF THE SAME KIND ....KITES 4 FUN!

Coloquios de J.M. - Volar como cometas
En la vida las personas podemos aprender muchas cosas de los objetos materiales: ahí está el caso de las cometas. Todos sabemos que para que una cometa pueda elevarse necesita cumplir con cuatro condiciones: una estructura liviana, porque si es muy pesada no alcanza alzar el vuelo, y resistente para aguantar los embates del viento; una mano firme que la haga subir con un tire y afloje; viento en contra, sin el cual se queda en tierra; y por último una cuerda fina que no la deje ir a la deriva. ¿Qué podemos aprender las personas de las cometas? Como ellas, necesitamos tener una estructura resistente, con una personalidad recia para enfrentar con éxito la lucha por la vida, sin tener apego excesivo a las cosas materiales que impiden lograr metas altas. También necesitamos una especie de viento en contra con las dificultades cotidianas, que si se saben afrontar, servirán como elementos de superación. Requerimos de una mano firme que nos dirija y nos enseñe cómo llegar al cielo, estando unidos a ella por el hilo de la fidelidad en todas las circunstancias. En resumen, de las cometas podemos aprender entre otras cosas, una serie de virtudes humanas: reciedumbre, desasimiento, docilidad, valentía, audacia, deseos de llegar a metas altas.

Colloquies of J.M. - Volar as I commit
In the life the people we can learn many things of the material objects: there it is the case of comets. All we know that so that one commits it can rise needs to fulfill four conditions: a light structure, because if she is very heavy it does not reach to take off, and resistant to hold the attacks of the wind; a hand signs that it makes it raise with throws and relaxes; headwind, without which it remains in earth; and finally a fine cord that does not let it go to the drift. What we can learn the people of comets? Like them, we needed to have a resistant structure, with a strong personality successfully to face the fight by the life, without having excessive attachment to the material things that they prevent to obtain high goals. Also we needed a species headwind with the daily difficulties, that if they are known to confront, will serve like overcoming elements. We required of a hand signs that it directs to us and teaches us how to arrive at the sky, being united to her by the thread of the fidelity in all the circumstances. In summary, of comets we can learn among other things, a series of human virtues: reciedumbre, desasimiento, docilidad, valentía, boldness, desires to arrive at high goals.

A las 6 de la tarde del pasado domingo, la tarima de animación del festival de cometas del barrio Bolívar se derrumbó sin ninguna explicación y una docena de personas resultaron con lesiones menores. Diana Carolina Nieto Román, que se acababa de retirar del sitio, se llenó de angustia. Ella, que tomó ese hecho como una premonición, prefirió no compartir sus pensamientos. A esa hora, en el kilómetro 11, en el sitio Boquerón, el bus conducido por el papá de la adolescente se accidentaba dejando el trágico saldo. Diana Carolina, de 13 años, no pudo ir al paseo que desde hace 12 años organiza la Cooperativa Siglo XX de Tuluá, porque doña Soledad, su abuela, no la dejó ir. Diana, abandonada por su mamá a los 3 años de nacida, se salvó de morir junto a su padre Carlos Albeiro Nieto Muñoz, de 37 años, y sus hermanos Luisa María y José Luis Nieto Barco, además de su madrastra Sayira Barco Rendón de 3, 7 y 26 años respectivamente. La niña dice que su papá no tuvo que ver nada con el accidente. 'El era un experto, toda su vida manejó su propio bus hasta que lo vendió para vivir de la renta', recuerda.
