Dear COLOMBIANITOS Friends: Today we have special news to share; we have a new Website and we want to invite you to visit it and to re-send this information to family and friends so that more people may get involved with COLOMBIANITOS and learn of the work that we are doing to change the future of thousands of Colombian boys and girls. The Interactive Agency Studiocom and its employees have dedicated a lot of time and effort to donate this work to COLOMBIANITOS. They wanted our website to show the evolution of the organization and its programs. It is spectacular work that we are very thankful for and want to share with you. With the launching of our new website and to continue accomplishing the main objective of the Goals for a Better Life Program; we have now included boys and girls from all the communities where this program operates in the Sponsorship Plan. Today YOU can JOIN COLOMBIANITOS by sponsoring children in Ciudad Bolivar, Puerto Tejada, Cartagena, Sincelejo and Barbosa. JOIN TODAY! COLOMBIANITOS’ Sponsorship Plan goes further than ensuring that the sponsored boys and girls attend school. This plan offers an integral education program to children affected by violence and extreme poverty in Colombia, including as a fundamental part of their formative education, moral values and life goals as well as sports and recreation activities. By keeping children busy attending school and using their spare time in soccer training, music classes and other activities of the Goals for a Better Life program, we keep them away from the dangers that they are exposed to in the streets, such as drug-addiction, crime, prostitution and child labor among others. I invite you to JOIN this effort to change the future of more Colombian children by sponsoring one of our COLOMBIANITOS and inviting more people to participate. Thank you for your continued support, Angela Patricia Janiot President   Visit www.colombianitos.org         COLOMBIANITOS Bingo Extravaganza 2007 The Board of Directors of COLOMBIANITOS in Atlanta organized for a sixth consecutive year the COLOMBIANITOS Bingo Extravaganza, an event that has helped raise annual funds to strengthen and allow the growth of the organization’s programs.
