Easy money: Introduction

This short story attempts to describe a typical travelers experience in Bogotá, at least typical for some travelers. I wrote this story during my two month in Colombia. I got the idea for the story while I was in Bogotá, after going through two distinctly different experiences, and I though bringing them together, and weaving them into a fictional plot would make for an interesting story. As I mentioned he main plot is completely fictional, and although some characters may be partially based on people I met in, the names are completely fictional. That said there is one thing that is not fictional in the story, and that is the 'Fundación Niña Maria', this place is real, and I visited it a couple of times. Also the difficulties facing the foundation are real, and for those who are interested in donating money, volunteering, or just visiting, then here is the contact information of the foundation :

Vereda Fonqutá
Chia - Cundinamarca
email : ninamaria03@yahoo.com
Dirección Correspondencia Cra 8 No 13-26 Casa 11

I will be publishing the story over the next couple of weeks, one or chapters at a time. This gives me the opportunity to review the content one more time before publishing it.
