Today Diomedes Sanguino, the employee of our foundation , delivered 60 boxes of food to help the most vulnerable families with two or three children. As usually we also gave boxes of food among the people in very precarious conditions, including homeless immigrants from Venezuela. Next delivery will take place in two weeks.
Yesterday, on Holy Thursday, the unique employee of our social project delivered 60 food boxes to help most vulnerable families, including families with two or three children. We also gave food boxes to some Venezuelan families who are living in tents bordering the Palomino river, in very precarious conditions. Near 40% of the poorest families living in the little town are from Venezuela. Most of these families entered Colombia by roads as the border is very close.
In a voluntary effort the webpage of the foundation was modernized. The aim is to transparently communicate more details about the social work and to share its impact on the local community.
To help address this crisis the administrator of the Foundation and his wife are committed to source food in the nearby city of Santa Marta (80kms) and deliver a bag of basic staples to 60 households every fortnight (i.e. rice, beans, lentils, canned sausages, oil, milk powder, salt, sugar, etc.).
To finance the next deliveries we need your help. We invite you to consider ‘adopting a family’ during 3months. The two monthly deliveries cost 38€ per month per family (including transport cost to source and deliver).
