The Friends of Colombia Society, SADCO, wishes all of you every happiness for the holiday season and throughout the Coming Year. We wish you peace in the world and prosperity in your life. Please have a safe and happy holiday season and thank you for your support over the past years. During the 2003 year SADCO had the opportunity to continue its programs and projects with successful results. Our scholarship fund is more solid than ever and our "Change for Children in Colombia" project is rolling great with a lot of involvement of families around Indiana. We had chance to partner with other institutions and develop cultural programs such as story telling and Latin movie film festival. SADCO's events such as Gala, Fiesta Indianapolis, Independence Picnic, Formula One party, Christmas Party were attended by many who experienced a high level of quality and organization. SADCO is commited to continue to improve in 2004. During the new year of 2004 SADCO will celebrate its twentieth anniversary. Hard to believe, but it is true. SADCO has been around for two decades. SADCO invites you to join us in all events and meetings that we will hold to celebrate our twenty years of age.
Cordially,

Fernando Otero, President
