We are looking for funding in order to expand The Joy of Giving Foundation and so that we have the possibility to be able to collect items and donations from the USA as well as pay for the selecting, sorting, and shipping of items collected here in the states. We are also looking to start up a school in one of the most deserted and abandoned locations of the region in Risaralda Colombia. These children are without schooling and lacking in the daily necessities of life. A school here would allow the opportunity for these children to grow and possibly go onto greater things in life. Right now there life consist of working in the fields picking coffee to help their families and survive. This has been the only life they have known and do not even know what it is to experience an education , a basic education.
