La Guajira, Colombia - Children In Need

These are the Indian kids of the Wayu tribe in Guajira Colombia. The Wayu people make up 48% of the population in the Department (what we know as State) of La Guagira. This area of Colombia has been forgotten by the country, some of the areas in this dessert land are so desolated that help usually never gets there, and when people try to help, sometimes things get "lost" in the way.

This campaign is the result of the journey of my uncle Alonso and his wife Carolina to this desolated land and bring some joy to the beautiful lives of these amazing children during their vacation this past January. Using the donations of their customers, family and friends; they brought immense happiness and joy to the forgotten children of the Wayu.

However… The gorgeous smiles and charisma of these incredible children only left a bigger whole in their hearts. These children need more than toys, they need a better education and are in need of so many basic things.

We can make an incredible impact in the lives of these children. Imagine what a simple book, school desk or a solar panel can mean in the future of a child in these conditions. They have never seen a computer or know what the internet is. There is an electrical plant, but it’s only used for a few light bulbs.

Providing for these kids can be the difference between a life of crime or a life of meaning!

We would like to ask for your help to provide the children with school materials, desks and a library. But if our donations go further, we might be able to provide laptops and a solar panel so they can charge their laptops.

Let’s change these children's lives!!
