	Rivers of Light un article par Carolina Felton, Alessia Montero, Gabriel Gonzalez During recent holidays, as part of a government strategy in Colombia from the Ministry of Defense to demobilize the FARC guerrillas without the implementation of force, the government invited families and friends of the guerrillas to write them a Christmas message in order to bring them home. click on photo to enlarge The operation is based on collecting messages and gifts of the loved ones, putting them in plastic spheres with lights. The lights were activated with sensors, causing them to light up as people approach. Members of the army were responsible to distribute them within each area nearby the main centers where the guerillas were concentrated. This movement shows how one can reach even the most conflictive groups without having to implement any armed or violent strategies.
