Have you ever read about people who use their free time to help others and stopped to ask yourself, "What am I doing to make the world a better place?" Come to Cali, Colombia and find the answer to that question.
October 6-20, 2007, volunteers from across the US will return to Cali to resume construction at Hogar Samaria. If you're a financial supporter of the project, it will be an amazing opportunity to see your donated dollars at work and to meet some of the people who will benefit from our efforts. And even if you've not been able to support the project financially, your life will be enriched as you work side by side with Colombians to help build something that will indeed make a difference for generations to come.
You don't have to be skilled in construction. You don't have to know how to speak Spanish. You'll be overwhelmed to discover how much you have to offer the project and how easily you will learn to communicate without using spoken words. Your two weeks in Cali will be a life-changing experience.
If you think you might be interested in joining the work team in October, please e-mail me privately for details and contact info. And as always, thanks for your support of our project. The need for funds is ongoing, and your donations are appreciated.
MEET P.RICHELLE
- Buenos
- In 1976, my father traveled to Colombia, South America to help build a church. The stories of the people he met and the pictures of the places he visited captured my imagination. And I knew then I would someday experience the beauty of Colombia for myself. My father passed away in 1996. In 2005, I followed in his footsteps to Cali, Colombia to find the church he'd helped build and to volunteer my services with the construction of a nursing home. One day while I was working at the construction site, it became crystal clear why I had come to Cali. The construction of the nursing home could not continue without funding, and I could produce a documentary to raise awareness and funds to help make the facility - Hogar Samaria - a reality. Since that day, my friends, family and colleagues have stepped forward to make my mission THEIR mission. I hope you will join us, too.
