Nicolás Buenaventura es un narrador, escritor y cineasta colombiano, uno de los grandes referentes del arte de contar historias en Iberoamérica. Pero él mismo se define como un cuentacuentos. La trayectoria del protagonista de Aprendemos juntos transita entre la literatura, el cine y la narración oral, con un estilo en el que confluyen la tradición popular y la reflexión contemporánea sobre la palabra. Ha llevado sus relatos a teatros, festivales y universidades de todo el mundo, convencido de que las historias son un territorio común donde se encuentran la memoria, la emoción y la imaginación. Para Buenaventura, contar historias no es un lujo, sino una necesidad humana: un modo de compartir experiencias, transmitir valores y tender puentes entre culturas y generaciones.

15 DE JULIO - SAN BUENAVENTURA, OBISPO Y DOCTOR DE LA IGLESIA
“El día del juicio será menos riguroso para Tiro, Sidón y Sodoma que para otras ciudades.”Del santo Evangelio según san Mateo: 11, 20-24.Lectura y reflexión: Pbro. David Rafael Montufar Pulido.
Shawn Howarth, President and CEO of Excellon Resources (TSXV:EXN) (OTC:EXNRF)(FRA:E4X2), joins me to overview their 4 precious metals projects, with an emphasis on the recent closing in May of the acquisition of the past-producing Mallay Silver Mine, with plans to move this mine back into production by Q2 of 2026. We then review the large exploration potential across their other 3 projects: Tres Cerros, Kilgore, and Silver City. We kick things off having Shawn highlight why the company updated their project profile to focus on the jurisdiction of the Cerro de Pasco area of Peru, when acquiring both the Mallay Silver Mine and Tres Cerros exploration projects in the transaction announced in October of 2024, and closed on in May of this year. Excellon has been a producing silver company in the past, and the management team and board had solid in-county experience in Peru, this transaction seemed like a perfect fit for taking the company to the next level. Mallay was built and operated by Buenaventura from 2012 to 2018, with US$115 million of historical investment. The mine went into care and maintenance in 2018 due to low silver prices (~US$16.00 per ounce) and a change in strategic priorities at Buenaventura. Annual production by Buenaventura (2013 to 2017) averaged 1.3 million ounces of silver, 9,100 tonnes of zinc and 6,500 tonnes of lead. Excellon announced a few months back that it has secured off-take agreements with Glencore for their concentrates, and is working to put a NI 43-101 economic study in place this year, to outline specific metrics for the move back into production. Shawn outlined that their internal studies project a run-rate of 600 tonnes per day of production, producing approximately 2-2.5 million silver equivalent ounces per year, and with a target All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) of US$17 per AgEq ounce. Shawn points out that they will also be engaging in an aggressive exploration program to demonstrate the resources can be grown and the mine life extended in a substantial way. The Tres Cerros Project is a highly prospective gold-silver exploration project approximately five kilometers northwest of the Mallay Mine. The project's prime area of interest is a 2.5 kilometer by 500 meter corridor of gold-silver mineralization and coincident IP/resistivity anomalies, indicative of a bulk tonnage, high sulfidation epithermal system. Numerous historical grab samples were taken across the 2.5 kilometer fault, which are being analyzed to determine further follow-up exploration work. Kilgore, is an advanced gold project in Idaho with over 1 million ounces of gold delineated in all categories, and the Company is considering bringing in a JV partner to assist with moving this project forward in exploration and further derisking. Silver City, a high-grade epithermal silver district in Saxony, Germany, with a long history of almost 800 years of silver production. Shawn has stated publicly that they are looking at various options, but are entertaining the idea of spinning out this asset into a new European-focused exploration vehicle. Wrapping up we reviewed the industry experience the Excellon management team and board has in both moving projects into production as well as a pedigree of exploration success. We discussed that the company is cashed up after their financing and off-take agreement, to conduct the key work and studies on tap over the next 6-9 months as the company moves toward a production decision.

//The Wire//2300Z June 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: RIOTS CONTINUE TO SPREAD GLOBALLY. 17x COORDINATED IED BLASTS REPORTED IN COLOMBIA. MASS SHOOTING STRIKES AUSTRIA. STABBING ATTACKS CONTINUE IN SPAIN. UNREST AND RIOTING CONTINUES IN NORTHERN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Colombia: Overnight an IED was detonated at the Police Headquarters in Buenaventura, with no injuries being reported. This morning, 16x more IED blasts were reported throughout the nation. These blasts mostly took the form of Vehicle-Borne IEDs (VBIEDs), striking the city of Cali as well as some minor outlying areas.AC: These attacks are significant due to the level of coordination required to conduct these attacks at scale. So far, the casualty count is minimal, with most of the IEDs detonating after being parked at fixed sites such as police stations.Austria: A school shooting was reported at the BORG Dreierschützengasse high school Graz, resulting in 10x fatalities and over a dozen wounded. The suspect eliminated themselves after conducting the attack, and has not yet been identified by authorities.Spain: A city sanitation worker was stabbed in Cambrils yesterday. This comes after three men were arrested for stabbing another man in the same city two weeks ago.Northern Ireland: Riots broke out over the weekend following a series of high-profile assaults in Ballymena. What started out as peaceful protest transitioned into small-scale riots once darkness fell on Monday, with minor pockets of violence and arson continuing today.AC: As one might expect, details on this case are hard to verify as no mainstream media is providing details pertaining to the incident that started all of this. However, at face value this appears to be similar to the Rotheram Grooming Scandal that came to light in the U.K. last year. Locals in Northern Ireland state that two Romanian immigrants assaulted several young girls over the weekend, which resulted in the tipping point being reached in Ballymena. Locals set fire to the homes of the suspects, and have destroyed much of the migrant housing in the local area.Far East: Two Chinese PLAN aircraft carriers were observed operating in the waters off the coast of Iwo Jima overnight, marking the first time that both of China's aircraft carriers have been observed conducting joint exercises.-HomeFront-California: The Los Angeles Riots continue as before amid increasing National Guard deployment. 2/7 Marines began movement into the area yesterday, while the roughly 2,000 National Guard forces continue mobilization.Overnight, looting and rioting continued throughout the downtown LA area, with pockets of rioting emerging in Little Tokyo, the LA LIVE area, and Pershing Square. Most stores along Broadway were burglarized in the process by coordinated gangs of looters. Train service was halted for Little Tokyo, Chinatown, and Union Station due to unrest in and around the stations. Various ride-share and autonomous driving taxi companies have also begun to shut down services throughout Los Angeles, with Waymo vehicles being observed maneuvering out of the city early yesterday after several of their vehicles were set on fire.This afternoon, the rioting continued in the same locations as before, with the 101 being shut down due to protesters once again. Additionally, a possible small arms attack was conducted at the corner of Atlantic and Alondra in Compton. An unidentified male produced a firearm and pointed it at a police line down the street.AC: As this is a developing situation at the time of this report, many details are unclear. However, it's only a matter of time before small arms attacks take place, either directed at law enforcement or otherwise. Several gangs throughout the Los Angeles area have made statements indicating that they will defend their turf with
Una oleada terrorista vive el departamento del Cauca donde, de manera simultánea, se registran ataques con explosivos y amenazas en diferentes sectores. Por ejemplo, en la madrugada de este martes, en carreteras que conducen a la ciudad de Cali, se registró una explosión muy cerca de la Policía en zona urbana de Buenaventura, puntualmente en el sector conocido como El Pailón. De momento, se desconoce si la explosión dejó personas lesionadas y se cree, de acuerdo a las primeras versiones, que fue un ataque con granada contra el CAI de la Policía.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Resumen informativo con las noticias más destacadas de Colombia y el mundo del domingo 6 de abril 10:00am
En este episodio, entrevistamos a Luli Arrotea y Pepa Lacasia. Conocemos a Luli y a Pepa desde nuestra juventud, cuando compartíamos con ellas los grupos de jóvenes de nuestra parroquia, la Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Pilar. Hoy, ambas son religiosas pertenecientes a la congregación de las Misioneras de la Caridad, fundada en 1950 por la Madre Teresa de Calcuta. Las Misioneras de la Caridad profesan votos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia, además de un cuarto voto especial: “entregar gratuitamente un servicio de amor a los más pobres entre los pobres. “Como Pepa y Luli nos explican, son contemplativas en el corazón del mundo. Luli actualmente vive en Buenaventura, una ciudad portuaria sobre el Pacífico, en Colombia, donde conviven el narcotráfico, la guerrilla y una gran pobreza. Allí, las Hermanas de la Caridad tienen un hogar de ancianos y trabajan con los niños. Por su parte, Pepa vive con su comunidad en Chimbote, una pequeña ciudad a ocho horas al norte de Lima, Perú, donde las Hermanas de la Caridad atienden a muchas familias inmigrantes necesitadas. Luli y Pepa nos comparten cómo sintieron el llamado a la vida consagrada y, en especial, a ser Misioneras de la Caridad. También nos cuentan cómo viven la pobreza, no solo material, sino también espiritual, abandonadas a la Providencia. Conversamos sobre cómo ellas encuentran a Jesús en los pobres y en la Eucaristía, cómo los pobres las llevan a Jesús y Jesús las lleva a los pobres. Luli y Pepa nos invitan a reflexionar sobre cómo Jesús quiere que lo encontremos especialmente en los pobres, que muchas veces están muy cerca de nosotros. “No tengo plata ni oro, pero te doy lo que tengo”: un espacio donde encontrarnos con el que verdaderamente nos llena, para que nos tome de la mano, nos levante y nos ponga en camino nuevamente.

BAD BLOOD, 19min., Argentina Directed by Guillermo Ronco Abandoned by the state and with his daughter's life at stake, police officer Rafael chooses to break his deepest convictions and commit a crime to resolve his situation. But when what was supposed to be a robbery turns into a kidnapping, he discovers that there are limits he cannot cross. https://www.instagram.com/lucero_audiovisual/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? In 2018/19, I began developing my first feature film, “Saints of Buenaventura”, but it was canceled due to the COVID pandemic. So, my next move to push forward this project was to shoot a short film with similar characteristics in terms of tone and artistic style. So, I took the structure of the third act of the first draft of that script and turned it into a story with a beginning and end in less than 20 minutes. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? It was awesome! The way they got engaged and moved by the story, and their comments about the right pacing and the sound score building suspense and anticipation. I work so consciously on those topics that it makes me very proud that I got them right. Feedback is priceless for us filmmakers. Thanks so much for that!

Jaime Lombana, abogado del Muelle 13 de Buenaventura, habló en 6AM sobre los cuestionamientos del presidente Gustavo Petro por la petición de la Procuraduría a la Anla de reanudar las operaciones del Muelle 13
WOLA's director for Colombia, Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli, is just back from taking a U.S. congressional delegation to Colombia. In addition to Bogotá, the group visited Cali and the Pacific Coast port of Buenaventura. The latter two cities are in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia's third most populous. Much of the population is Afro-descendant, and Buenaventura, on the coast is majority Black. Buenaventura has a vibrant and resilient array of community organizations that has played a greater role in local governance since a 2017 general strike. The government of Gustavo Petro, which took office in 2022, has fostered a negotiation between gangs operating in the city, part of its nationwide “total peace” policy. As at the national level, the results are mixed. The Petro government has sought to move forward many negotiations at once, and some are stalled. Implementation of the 2016 peace accord with the FARC suffers from bureaucratization and lack of organization more than from lack of political will. Rural areas are especially challenged: armed groups are strengthening in some areas, and the humanitarian situation has hit emergency levels all along Colombia's Pacific coast. The election of Donald Trump may presage a U.S. administration urging a return to failed hardline approaches of the past. Still, Gimena sees hope in urban, participatory peacebuilding efforts in places like Buenaventura, Medellín, and in Quibdó, the capital of Chocó. The remarkable resilience and persistence of Colombia's civil society, including Afro-Colombian and Indigenous communities in and near Valle del Cauca, continue to be a source of inspiration and innovation.
