Breaking poverty cycle for 70 youths in Bogota

Here is why it's worth working in pintando, children are receiving love and training which we give everyday with effort and dedication.

Without you, it would be impossible for us to keep going, as always we're thankful for your support from the bottom of our hearts

Today we want to share with you some letters that our children wrote in one of our leadershirp whorkshops

Valentinas letter :“Because it is a happy place and i like it a lot, they have been most helpful when i need it the most, they made me  feel much better, thanks to them i have been able to fulfill some of my dreams and i have been inspired on much more every day, that's why i like them, when i was sad they always help me in everything, and i feel as if they were my own family. Thanks pintando”

 Karen Dayana`s:  "Because they give us support, affection, love, respect and above all they've got a heart full of affection and love"

During the last year several children from Pintando Caminos (around 20) participated in the leadership program that we developed together with the University of Javeriana, the idea is that children and adolescents learn to recognize their value, their talents and abilities and their importance within their environment.  We worked for several Saturdays, children played, jumped, laughed and learned, it was months of effort, early mornings and sharing. 

Finally they finished their process and graduated, they did it in an auditorium in the javeriana university as they deserved it after their effort, for us was really exciting and proud.

Every day there are results that we can see, the effort, dedication and patience has paid off and many lessons learned ... AS ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US
