The Worldwide friends projects in Tierra Bomba Colombia
I will never forget the moment when I came to Tierra Bomba for the first time in November 2009 with my good friend Antonio Perez. The boat trip to the island from the big city Cartagena Di Indias only took 10 minutes but the island was like a different World. Kids running in the streets without clothes, no fresh water and most of the houses in bad condition. Before going back to Cartagena we decided that we would help this small community as much as we could. The international volunteers which participated in the four workcamps in July and August 2010 did amazing work, I am not only talking about painting houses or renovation, the most important gift or contribution was the love and friendship that they gave to the people in Tierra Bomba. If our work in this small island will prevent one child from stepping into prostitution than we can be proud, if more kids will get more opportunities through our work than dreams will come true.
