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 identified donors to support La Casa's primary needs in Colombia. We are contributing to a hosting program where special needs children from Colombia come for 5-6 weeks; these children are aging up in the system without the opportunity to grow with the love of a family. Thanks to this program, they find families who, after they meet them and spend time together, decide to adopt them. They go back to Colombia while the Department of State approves the petition that a US citizen makes to process adopting a child from Colombia, a Hague Convention country. We also made fundraising efforts to raise sums for renovating the home of the orphans who are in Colombia waiting to be adopted or reunified with their biological families. These are victims of sexual and physical abuse, abandonment, and neglect. There are 450 children on average in this home that benefit from our effort. 2884 X 134179 134179 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 199617 306330 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 106713 199617 306330 49330 257000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 306330 0.83896 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Travel and transportation;17472|Training and development;51413|Interest;3346|Program support;3325|Translation services;1956|Bank fees;789|Other;8669^Total;86970^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Fraud receivable;2500^Total;2500^
