Starting the month of May, we love to greet you with a report of normality the activities carried out in the programs. It has been four months of reactivation of the training strategies for children, adolescents and youth from the dimensions of body, mind and spirit, according to the principles of our founder's SER Philosophy, which have made them feel very motivated and full of expectations. Thanks to your permanent support, they began their school, technical, and university year in February with their uniforms and necessary supplies for a good academic performance.
We are happy to share with you some special moments of this quarter:
We are so thankful for your permanent commitment to make these results possible! We know that, with everyone's help, we can continue building a more just and inclusive country; in which the rights of children become a priority and to be able to continue meeting the needs of the most vulnerable, especially adolescents, who are most exposed to social risks if they do not have timely intervention.
On behalf of Papá Jaime, the entire team, and specially our children, receive our gratitude for your usual support and generous contributions.
All the best,
PATRICIA GONZALEZ

We are more than excited to start this new year, alongside each and every one of our donors. Our hopes are that this year brings more normality especially for our children, who are eager to enjoy their school year, meet new friends, and work on their inner transformation process.
We’d like to share with you, some of our major events since September, and a few goals we are looking forward to meet this 2022:
All of our accomplishments, have only been possible thanks to the continuous support that our donor community network has provided in 2021, which in turn gives us the chance to continue our day-to-day operation and thus be able to set goals for the future. It is very fulfilling to know that even in the most uncertain times, we can count on our donor community, who of course will always be a part of the Fundación Niños de los Andes’ family. With that being said, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors and kindly invite you to visit our website for updates about our cause.
On behalf of Papa Jaime our founder, Board of Directors, Diana Zamudio General Director, our children and staff we'd like to wish you a happy 2022, and thank you for your commitment.

2021, has brought a whirlwind of emotions for our organization and for our children who continue to wait for the day this pandemic will be over. Fortunately, the COVID-19 peak has slowed down and we are excited to announce that all of our staff are fully vaccinated, allowing us to slowly host small corporate events with few volunteers. Similarly, all of our children in St. Patrick have resumed presential classes with so far very few infection cases, permitting a smooth transition into what we hope better days for their education experience.
Since we last reported in June lots has happened, and we are eager to share a few of the following successes and upcoming event for the end of the year!
Results like these, show us that together we can increase the impact in our problematic society and thus positively transform childrens' lives.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and kindly invite you to visit our website for updates about our cause.
On behalf of Papa Jaime our founder, children, staff and Board of Directors, we thank you again for your donation and commitment!

El 2021, ha traído un torbellino de emociones para nuestra organización y para nuestros niños que siguen esperando el día en que esta pandemia haya terminado. Afortunadamente, el pico de COVID-19 se ha ralentizado y nos complace anunciar que todo nuestro personal está completamente vacunado, lo que nos permite organizar lentamente pequeños eventos corporativos con pocos voluntarios. Del mismo modo, todos nuestros niños en la sede St. Patrick han reanudado las clases presenciales con hasta ahora muy pocos casos de infección, lo que permite una transición sin problemas a lo que esperamos sean mejores días para su experiencia educativa.
¡Desde junio, última vez que enviamos reporte, han sucedido muchas cosas y queremos compartirlas con ustedes junto con los próximos eventos para fin de año!
Resultados como estos, nos demuestran que juntos podemos lograr un gran impacto en la sociedad, transformando positivamente la vida de muchos niños, niñas y adolescentes en riesgo.
Te deseamos lo mejor en tus futuras tareas y te invitamos amablemente a visitar nuestro sitio web para que conozcas información actualizada sobre nuestra labor.
En nombre de Papá Jaime, nuestros directivos y especialmente los niños y niñas de los Andes recibe un afectuoso saludo,

Dear Donor,
Happy June! It seems like only yesterday we begun hearing news about COVID-19. What was then a disease in China, is now a pandemic that has completely changed the course of our world. Unfortunately to this day, we are still struggling with this pandemic as we are going through the third peak, severely affecting our society, but more importantly our children. Their imaginative minds have been limited to see only one house, one life, and one environment, that is confinement. However, the bright light can indeed shine, and that light is our donors, our community and our everlasting supporting friends and partners like GlobalGiving, that connect us with people like you.
Below we’d like to share some exciting things we have been working on this past trimester and those we will continue to work on in the upcoming months:
Within this uncertainty, your help, contributions, and advocacy, have shown us, our staff and our children, that together we can make this world a better place for our children. So, thank you again.
Stay tuned for more news in the upcoming months!
With love, Angelica VegaFundraising Official*Her name was changed in order to protect her identity.

Estimados donantes,
¡Feliz Junio! Parece que fue ayer que empezamos a escuchar noticias sobre COVID-19. Lo que entonces era una enfermedad en China, es ahora una pandemia que ha cambiado por completo el rumbo de nuestro mundo. Desafortunadamente, hasta el día de hoy, todavía estamos luchando con esta pandemia, ya que estamos pasando por el tercer pico, afectando gravemente a nuestra sociedad, pero lo más importante a nuestros niños. Sus mentes imaginativas, se han limitado a ver sólo una casa, una vida y un entorno, que es el confinamiento. Sin embargo, una luz nos acompaña, y esa luz son nuestros donantes, nuestra comunidad, nuestros amigos y especialmente un aliado como GlobalGiving que nos conecta con personas como tú.
A continuación, nos gustaría compartir algunas cosas emocionantes en las que hemos estado trabajando en este trimestre pasado y en las que seguiremos trabajando en los próximos meses:
Todo lo anterior sumado a la ayuda de ustedes, sus contribuciones y su apoyo incondicional han demostrado a nuestro equipo y a nuestros niños, que juntos podemos construir un mundo mejor a pesar de las adversidades. Así que, gracias de nuevo.
Manténgase atento para más noticias en los próximos meses!
Con amor,Angelica VegaOficial de Fundraising*El nombre de la niña ha sido cambiado para proteger su identidad.
Dear Donors,
As we say goodbye to 2020, better late than never, we would like to express our gratitude to each and everyone of you!
We are delighted to start a new year full of positive energy ready to meet goals and improve every day the quality of services we provide to the 621 children, who develop their potentials under our protection. 2020 taught us to overcome challenges that seemed impossible and awarded us with the solidarity of many volunteers and company such as UPS, Cargill Inc., Mercado Libre, Thermos, Quala, Mitsui, Vass, National Instruments, Set-Icap, Asesoftware, Sutherland, La Bonne Cuisine, Brownies Paraiso who with their contributions and accompaniment made it possible for our children to have a Merry Christmas full of gifts and celebrations! With this being said, we'd also like to take a moment and recognize every single donor, who during the most difficult time, were willing to help our Colombian children, no matter the amount. In the darkest of days, we are happy to see the brightest light which is our donor community!
This year, our Directorate-General 2021's focus is to strengthen the pedagogical area, get the whole staff and children, to take over the use of technologies to meet the virtual education goals, that are here to stay. This crisis situation also requires us to rethink and innovate the fundraising strategy, taking advantage of the opportunities provided by virtuality in order to thus, to expand our community of donors and collaborators.
Here are some important projects for 2021:
Papa Jaime and our Board Members wish you all the best for 2021, greatly appreciate your commitment, and hope that this year you continue to carry our children and young adolescents in your heart.
With love,
Angelica Vega
