The Problem
Cali in southwest Colombia is the third most populous city in the country. Unfortunately, crimes including robberies, gunfights and murders are common news in Cali. While there are improvements from the past, certain neighborhoods are avoided and Barrio Siloé (Siloe neighborhood) is one of them. We have partnered with Red Cross in Colombia and have identified a list of children in vulnerability in these dangerous neighborhoods, we are helping them and their families so they can go back to school. We will be collecting backpacks and school supplies to be deliver to these children in need hoping they have what is necessary for their learning.
