Volunteering allow us to live purposeful and meaningful lives, we were called to share our gifts and our talents with the world, especially those who need us the most. When a child smiles as a result of our small act of kindness, we feel like our lives hold immense value since we are able to provide happiness and joy to those who need us the most. Some of our children don't know what love is, some of them were abandoned by their parents or have experience trauma due to their environment, when we volunteer our love we are able to change their whole lives in just one day, because for that child that day could be the happiest day of their lives. ‍

Colombia boasts a diverse cultural landscape, from its vibrant cities to its lush landscapes and indigenous communities. Volunteering here allows individuals to immerse themselves in this rich tapestry, learning about Colombian traditions, languages, and customs firsthand. Interacting with locals and engaging in community projects provides a deep understanding of Colombian culture that is unparalleled.Poverty remains a significant challenge in Colombia, despite recent economic progress and efforts to address social inequalities. Rural areas, in particular, bear the brunt of poverty, with limited access to education, healthcare, and basic services exacerbating the situation for vulnerable communities. Many volunteering opportunities in Colombia are community-driven initiatives aimed at addressing local challenges and promoting social development. By participating in these projects, volunteers play a direct role in empowering communities, fostering sustainable growth, and improving quality of life.
