This day colombians are also going to protest against kidnapping of hundreds of hostages kept by guerrillas, specially FARC. White t-shirts , globes and flags will flood major cities in Colombia and the world in a huge rally for freedom.

As a proud colombian Trendhunter I would like to invite you to join this huge celebration for freedom and peace. If you are in Paris, New York City, Washington DC., Rome, Madrid, Sydney and several other cities around the globe you will be able to shout for freedom. We want to be heard in the jungles were the guerrillas have more than 700 kidnapped people.

Peace!
