Semillas de Amor, Colombia
Semillas de Amor “Seeds of Love”, Colombia:
On average nearly 100 children are served food each day at Semillas de Amor by three caring volunteers. For most children, this is their only meal of the day. Seeds of Love is in a part of Cartagenia called “New Colombia” where children and families have been displaced due to war and violence in the region over many years. Most of the children served in this center have handicaps and their caretakers are struggling to provide the basics for themselves and their children. A generous donation from our chapter in Canada provided the “seed” money to begin a chicken industry which is proving to be very successful for this home and their desire for self-reliance. We are working to partner with the local school to provide a kitchen to encourage all these children to enroll and attend daily classes.
