A Summer 2024 Event Recap
Article Author: Gerard Lapuente from Raices Foundation
On July 14th, the Raices Foundation carried out a heartwarming series of initiatives to support the elderly and young community members in Colombia. Our mission to serve and uplift those in need took us to Bucaramanga, Villa Rosa, and Aguachica, where we executed impactful projects that brought smiles and relief to many faces.
Initiative 1: Groceries for Elderly Households in Bucaramanga
In Bucaramanga, our team focused on providing essential groceries to elderly residents in Altos Del Progreso, San Francisco, Morrorico, and San Rafael neighborhoods. We distributed 30 bags of groceries, filled with important items to help ease the burden on these vulnerable households. The gratitude and joy expressed by the recipients reinforced the importance of our mission to support the elderly community.
Initiative 2: Care Packages and Lunches for Villa Rosa and Aguachica
Our second initiative took us to Villa Rosa and Aguachica, where we provided care packages and lunches to 20 community members. These packages included essential hygiene items, food items, and heartfelt notes of encouragement. This initiative met immediate needs and conveyed our message of compassion and support to the elderly residents of these areas.
Initiative 3: Summer Treats for Children
Understanding the importance of bringing joy to the younger members of our communities, our final initiative focused on distributing yogurts and ice creams to children. These refreshing treats were a delightful surprise, helping the kids stay cool and happy during the hot summer days.
