Rakhi, Rakhi Gifts, Bhai Dooj, Diwali, Send Gifts To Colombia

Colombia is a constitutional republic in northwestern South America. The territory of what is now "Colombia" was originally inhabited by indigenous people including the Muisca, Quimbaya, and Tairona. The Spanish arrived in 1499 and initiated a period of conquest and colonization creating the Viceroyalty of New Granada with its capital in Bogotá. Colombia is bordered to the east by Venezuela and Brazil; to the south by Ecuador and Peru; to the north by Panama and the Caribbean Sea; and to the west by Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean. Including its Caribbean islands, it lies between latitudes 14°N and 5°S, and longitudes 66° and 82°W. Approximately 10,000 BC, hunter-gatherer societies existed near present-day Bogotá which traded with one another and with cultures living in the Magdalena River Valley. Colombia is also known as the world's leading source of emeralds, while over 70% of cut flowers imported by the United States are Colombian. Principal trading partners are the United States, Venezuela and China. The educational experience of many Colombian children begins with attendance at a preschool academy until age 6. Basic education is compulsory by law. The school year can extend from February to November or from August to June, and in many public schools attendance is split into morning and afternoon "shifts", in order to accommodate the large numbers of children.
