New Foundation's Lot_01

Dear friends, partners, and supporters,

First of all, we would like to thank you once again for your trust and generous donation.

Today we have very exciting news and we are proud to announce that we have acquired two new lots in the same area to start building the new school. (photos attached)

There are still many other steps to take, but this first one was certainly the most difficult.

In addition, we would also like to share that now the foundation's street is properly paved (photos attached). Before the kids were always exposed to mud and dirty and the access for many disabled people was very dificult.

Due to Covid-19 situation in Colombia, we are unfortunately still not able to meet in person, the digital classes are still taking place nontheless.

If you want to receive more details, photos, and stay updated, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram @Funcamino

Stay safe and healthy.

Our best,

Funcamino´s Team

1st Report - La Casa del Camino Foundation

By Lorenzo Zanon | Project Leader

Dear friends, partners, and supporters,

First of all, we would like to use this occasion to wish you all and your families a safe a happy new year.

We can´t forget to thank you once again for your trust and generous donation. Since August last year, we have been structuring new projects and taking the Covid-19 pandemic time to rethink our future and improve the quality of the services we offer to our community.

We want to host more children and hire more professionals to support us and this project aims to provide us with the necessary resources to start that dream.

Unfortunately, because of local bank bureaucratic reasons and paperwork, we couldn’t monetize the donations we received yet. The donations are going to be available in our bank account in Colombia until the end of January 2021.

In the meantime, we have been looking for locations and buildings in the area around the foundation that could fit our purpose. We have three options so far that might serve.

Before confirming anything, we need to run a legal check to make sure those properties are legally documented and available to sell, in order to avoid any kinds of frauds.

It´s also important to make sure they are adequate in terms of soil quality, otherwise, we would face relevant problems in the long term.

As soon as we choose the local and receive the money, we will be able to start the planning phase.
