Feed 100 children with malnutrition in Medellin

We often hear how learning difficulties go hand in hand with the hunger suffered by many children in Colombia. And beyond that, many go to their schools on an empty stomach, or only have the chance to eat one meal a day.

All this affects the cognitive development of our children since they will have difficulty reading, writing and memorizing, since their neural connections of a malnourished child are not the same.

Language is also directly involved in this process; insufficient food consumption, lack of adequate nutrition and diseases that appeared after the covid 19 pandemic; it does not allow them to have defenses in their body. Producing irreversible physical and mental delays.

Our foundation supplies children with food so that they go to their schools WITHOUT HUNGER. And on other days, he receives the children who come from studying so that they return home WITHOUT HUNGER.

But the Inflation in our country has affected our Foundation to purchase food. That is why we need to add your help to be able to continue helping more children who come requesting places in our care centers.

 Our children receive food gratefully, learn, enjoy the games and learn with their peers at the Time of Peace Foundation!!

Last 24th May, Medellin´s Council delivered an honor to the Fundación Tiempo de Paz as a recognition for the great support it has provided by working for the children in our city during these 12 years of existence.
It was a moving ceremony in which members from the Foundation main board, some leaders from Cenfol Church and some of our donors were present.

In the 12 years of the foundation existence, it has been the most honorific merit we have ever received, and even though there was not a monetary retribution, we would like to emphasize that this get us very much closer to some influence sectors that could make more evident the great need of protecting and providing safe environments for the children in our city.

We know that this is not an easy task, all the more since with this current Government, we have seen how inflation and therefore the increase of the food prices has been rampant, which has caused that to comprehensively assist our children be even more complex.

But we will not give up, we will keep on working hard for those who are the future of our country, and for advancing in our vision of opening 12 Children Centers all through the Aburra Valley, where there are already three Centers operating and are transforming hundreds of families from the most vulnerable sectors.
