Colombia

Colombianitos is a foundation that takes care of children from poor neighborhoods in six different cities of Colombia.

The main activity it proposes to get the kids out of the streets and its dangers is football.

I travelled to Colombia during two months last automn and animated two wall painting workshops with the children of Colombianitos. One in Ciudad Bolívar (suburbs of Bogota), the other in Cartagena de Indias, on the caribbean coast.

In both cities, we painted the exterior wall of th foundation itself.
