We continue our efforts for the well being of impoverished children that need opportunities to break the poverty cycle and become happy and productive people.

With the continued help of people like you who have believed in our cause, we are growing our programs and meeting our objective to help the needy children of Colombia, who are the future of the country.

With this newsletter, I want to share the smiles, the happiness and the face of hope of many Colombianitos that are waiting for your help. But our work is far from finished and we need to raise more funds in order to build an important element for our soccer club: an artificial turf soccer field for our children to train and compete on. Donate a piece of the soccer field and leave your mark.

Thank you for believing in our organization. Here you can see some tangible results of our efforts.

Cordialmente,

Angela Patricia Janiot
President

ANOTHER LANDMINE VICTIM TREATED

Seven-year-old Hans Ibarra lost his right arm when a misdirected bullet hurt him during a terrorist attack in Suarez, Cauca. Colombianitos took him to Bogotá and started rehabilitation that lasted for several weeks.






WE CONTINUE WITH THE SOCCER FIELD PROJECT

We need all efforts from generous people like you to make this dream come true and build an artificial turf field with the latest technology. It will be the only soccer field in the Ciudad Bolivar area and over 2000 youngsters and adults will use it.

All who donate for the construction of the soccer field, will have their name engraved on a bronze inauguration plaque.




COLOMBIANITOS’ BINGO 2004

The third bingo in the city of Atlanta took place on April 17 this year. It was possible thanks to all of our sponsors’ generous donations and all our volunteers’ untiring efforts.

Two hundred people, mostly Hispanic, gathered in the social hall of St. Anne Catholic Church to enjoy 20 bingos with wonderful prizes like trips, hotel accommodations, airline tickets, gift certificates for restaurants and more.

COOL!!! COLOMBIANITOS IN CALI

On January 15, 65 boys and 34 girls from Cali joined the Colombianitos’ Caraluna Music School.
