On last year’s mission it was especially inspiring to interview director of the orphanage Marta Betancourt and learn how she had been on the streets in Medellin, when she decided to join her brother in Bogata and dedicate her life to helping others. Her work now is to care for 70 children (35 boys and 35 girls) The kids are not adoptable as they have parents, who are prostitutes , drug addicts, or who simply don’t care about them.  She has not sustainable funding to provide for food, medical care, or even school uniforms and supplies for the kids.   She needs to raise $7,000 by early next year to make sure all the kids can stay in school, so we are looking for support for this orphanage as education is the only key for the future for these kids.   If you can help financially or by making school kits email Alex.Restrepo@airlineamb.org
