Gina's testimony:
My life, my childhood, began in Chocó. I was born in Quibdó, but since my father is a teacher, I lived in different places, including Antioquia, Atlántico, and Apartadó departments, where I was able to interact with and learn from different cultures. It is easier for me to relate to people, to be more empathetic, because I understand different cultures.
My mother did not study; my father did, so I got the urge to study from him, someone committed to training himself and to being the best teacher. He studied chemistry and biology and was one of the best teachers at El Carrasquilla, one of the best known centers in Quibdó.
