We work closely with La Casa de la Madre y el Niño (founded in 1942 in Colombia) and promote the need to support more than 74,000 children in Colombia who are victims of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse and neglect. La Casa Friends does fundraising and participates in events, social media, speaking opportunities, communication, and marketing campaigns that contribute to transforming their lives. Thanks to our efforts we were able to identify and find donors to support La Casa's main needs in Colombia. We collaborated by finding and supporting families that are willing to adopt special needs children in Colombia. We created a network to promote a host program to give older orphans in Colombia (11-14) who are overseas a chance to grow with a family. Thanks to this program children stay five weeks in the United States, while they learn US culture and experience life in the American Family. We have been able to engage volunteers and local communities to support this program. During 2023, we reached out to 400 families and brought to the USA 98 orphans for the 5 week summer program. 0 124147 124147 Susana Vargas Managing Director 20 0 0 0 Eduardo Gamarra Director 5 0 0 0 Diana Serpa Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL Susana Vargas 2665 South Bayshore Drive Ste 703 Miami FL 33133 3057331775 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 106713 106713 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 106713 106713 106713 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 106713 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Funding sent to La Casa in Columbia to aid efforts there.
