Wow Facts Compassion's work in Colombia started in 1974. Currently, more than 62,200 children are registered in more than 235 child development centers. Compassion partners with churches to help them provide Colombian children with the opportunity to rise above their circumstances and become all God has created them to be. During the pre-Colombian period, the area now known as Colombia was inhabited by indigenous peoples who were primitive hunters or nomadic farmers. The Chibchas, who lived in the Bogotá region, were the largest indigenous group. On July 20, 1810, the citizens of Bogotá created the first representative council to defy Spanish authority. Full independence was proclaimed in 1813, and in 1819 the Republic of Greater Colombia was formed.
