“SADCO has a dream, that each child will grow into a healthy, educated and self-reliant adult”.
SADCO is
dedicating special attention to children in Colombia, Latin America,
and Indiana. There are institutions and groups of citizens
working
hard to help children in need, but they have very limited
resources. These institutions serve the children and the community with
the small amounts they get from individual donors. This is the reason
why SADCO is promoting the campaign ‘CHANGE FOR CHILDREN”. Our goal is
to collect funds to help institutions dedicated to taking care of
children living in abject poverty. Some of these children have been
abandoned by their parents or they have serious health or mental
limitations.
While you can do very little with the change you receive from daily transactions in the USA, that change can CHANGE the lives of children in Latin America because the little we give here can make a big difference to those institutions there.
The CHANGE FOR CHILDREN
program aims to collect funds
for institutions dedicated to
helping children in need. SADCO will distribute piggy banks
among
the good friends of children. The funds will then be given to the
reputable, verified, and trusting organizations. Here are some of the
organization we have hellped
- Hogares Luz y Vida (Bogotá and Girardot, Colombia)
- Hogar Infantil El Payaso Azul (La Palma - Colombia)
- Fundación San Jorge (Buenos Airess, Argentina)
- Carasucias (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
- Oasis (Atlantic Coast, Colombia)
- Asociación Hogar Villa Alegría (Bogotá, Colombia)
We
invite you and your children to join us in our campaign. All of us will
learn that sharing with others is an exciting and rewarding experience.
A little change from us can make a big CHANGE in the lives of Latin
American Children. All you need to do is fill the piggy banks with
loose change. Don’t take only one piggy bank, take several and
distribute them among your family members, friends, colleagues at work,
parishioners, etc. You will be changing their lives because you will
give them the opportunity to help others as you will be changing the
lives of children in Colombia.
Once the piggy banks are filled, please send us an email to information@sadco.org or contact us http://www.sadco.org and one of the SADCO members will stop by your home or office to pick the piggy bank up. In the following section you will find a summary of the activities undertaken by the institutions SADCO wants to help in Colombia.
