The types of food eaten are: bandeja paisa, ajiaco and lechona. The Bandeja paisa includes beans, white rice, pork rinds, powdered meat, chorizo, fried egg, ripe plantain, avocado. Ajaco contains chicken, three types of potatoes (criolla, sabanera and pastusa), corn on the cob, guascas, onion, garlic, cilantro and, to serve, cream, capers and avocado. Lechona contains whole roasted pork stuffed with rice, peas, onion, and spices, and is served with arepas. The plants of coffee grow on plantations.


 Some music from Colombia is Combia, Vallenato, and Champeta. I like this music because it uses different instruments.


Colombia has a government with a president  and the people can vote.

The president Gustavo Petro protects Colombia.

Haiti, by Cliphane

  Haiti has a very interesting history. There were a million Arawaks when the Europeans arrived. The Arawaks were the first tribe in Haiti. Before 1492, there were more than a million  Arawaks who lived on the island. They were almost all killed by 1600.  Gaining Independence for Haiti was not easy, it took a lot of work. In 1804, Haiti got independence from France. This means that Haiti was the 1st free country led by African black people. Today, Haiti is a country with challenges. Some of this is because  Haiti had to pay a  big payment of 150 million francs to France and some more money to America. Haiti was the first country in the world to make slavery illegal. Haiti has a very interesting history.

Haiti, by Mavens

  Haiti is an island in North America in the Caribbean.  Port-au-Prince is the capital of Haiti. The language in Haiti is a blend of African, French and Taino. Haiti is the first all Black county to get independence. In 1749 the French came to Port-au-Prince. Haiti is one of the poorest countries, so why should France or the United States squeeze its money?  There are many bandits in Haiti. Haitian food is very rich. Haitians in Haiti play soccer.
