Colombian President Alvaro Uribe turned 58 on Sunday.
Instead of taking the day off to celebrate, the president presided over a community council in a private university in Medellin.
Uribe travelled to Medellin on Friday after news broke that gunmen massacred at least eight in a club in the municipality of Envigado, which borders Medellin to the south.
