Because of your generous support, we will be going to Guajira, Colombia the week of April 18 to deliver emergency food assistance to children and families in the Wayuu community of Barrancas. And you are going with us! Ok, maybe not physically, as we cannot all fly down to Colombia to ride on the truck as it arrives in Barrancas. But our CDA Team will be capturing the outreach by photos to share with you, so you can see the wonderful impacts of your generous support.
Because of severe drought, these families have suffered much. This outreach will not only bring much needed food assistance, but also bring hope and support to these communities as they work towards a more sustainable future. We will be working in partnership with local health services to distribute the food packages, and be meeting with the Wayuu leader and the community to explore needs and long term solutions from their perspectives. We are also making plans to meet with the Governor of the Department of La Guajira to discuss potential sustainability projects to address the problems in the region.
We look forward to sharing the stories, impacts and photos with you as we all make the journey to Guajira. Thank you again for your generous support.
Warmest regards,
Terry Stierman
