Green socks


"Green Socks" is a campaign that the school Colombo Britanico had create to return to students, parents, teachers and all kind of people involved with the school the loosed love and appreciation for our institution, its theme are the green socks that represent us between other schools.
I agree that the idea is good, its needed and I also like the logo but I also think is a waste of money that school is making, money that can be used in better things, because a problem like this can be solved with the almost free conversation, not with stickers, candies, flags, posters, t-shirts and guys all painted riding bicycles or stilts. My idea is to make things like conferences of the same students, not a waste of money and can be understand and enter the peoples mind.

Cafeteria


It´s near the entrance of the school, it’s big and it occupies a good space of terrain. Is located near batch and the school pools.

The main propose of the cafeteria is to provide food to people, in the students case, all the junk food needed to complete an arduous school journey. But it also have other proposes at school as proving money to the institution and to the country by the paid of taxes, just imagine all the money produced by a business like this, and last but not least important, is all the jobs provide by the cafeteria, that can be either the people working to the school, employees of Sodexho the international cafeteria, D´Café the coffee cafeteria or Habbibi the meditarrean food cafeteria, and indirect jobs. This three are the option that gives different kind of food in the cafeteria.

Ethic & Values at scool


The School Colombo Británico is an institution whose main objective is to teach the students the meaning of the values, to show the ethics to them so that they put it in practices throughout their life, like students and professionals. This is an aid and help that the school gives to the students so that they are better people with an integral formation based on the moral principles of the catholic tradition, and with the values that identify the Colombian and British cultures.

The Ozone Layer




The ozone produced by the sun light protect and maintain the life in the planet earth because it absorbed and is like a shield that protect the living things from the dangerous ultraviolet radiation produced by the sun. So the scientific get worried when they discover that some products called CFC´s (make of fluor) used in aerosols, can represent a significative damage to the ozone layer, this chemicals react in certain way with the sun, so when they are in the atmosphere this special reaction is corrosive to the ozone layer and can open holes in this, in which the UV rays would pass directly to the planet.
The first hole discover in 1970 was over the Antarctica and it was almost 28 million square kilometers big, and after that the Scientifics started putting special attention to this problem.
Actually there similar holes over the Arctic, Scandinavia and North America, The Max Planck (Germany) institute affirms that if this continues in 30 or 40 years the ozone layer would disappear completely. The European Union, world-wide organizations and the NASA are proving an especial care to the ozone layer; they say that in 2050 the ozone layer would be totally recuperated.

The most important persons in my life

Mandiguaca a special place






Mendiguaca is a delightful place near Santa Marta in the north of Colombia, is far of the city so is a very nice place with many nature and all kind of animals like titi monkeys, Guacamayas that are colorful parrots and the friendly Tucans that are other kind of bird.
I go many times when I was little with my parents and brothers, we stay in a nice hotel near the beach, I specially remember that a group of friends and me use to go to the beach and hunt ghost crabs which are white crabs that mix with the sand and are almost invisible.

The Da Vinci Code


The Da Vinci Code is a novel of the mystery genre, is about the legend of the Holy Grail and the role of Mary Magdalene in the history of Christianity. The novel affirms that the Vatican knows about the biggest lie of the world, but it keeps it in secret to continue with the power. This story cause interest in many people and sells more than the highly popular Harry Potter series, converting into a best seller book, I like this mystery suspense and detective novels, this is a really good one and it gets you, when you starts reading it, its difficult to stop. What I like the most of this story is that if it was true it can destroy the Christians faith, just imagine a whole religion ruined.
The Author of this book is the America Dan Brown and it was published in 2003.
