Dear friends of Colombianitos:
This year, thanks to the wonderful support of the
media and advertising agencies: “Initiative”,
“Rep/Grey”, “Direktor Films” and audiovisual
producing companies: “Rayos & Centellas”, “El Padrino
Producciones”, “Sonica”, “Cinecolor”, “ZS Studios” and
“Congo Films”, we are launching a new campaign in the
most important media in the country to promote the
Sponsorship Program thus helping directly many more
of our Colombianitos.
326 sponsors have already experienced the beautiful
and satisfying sense of support in helping one or more Colombianitos through the
Sponsorship Program, and that is the reason we want to insist in our immense gratitude.
Also, I want to take advantage of the recent massive presence of institutional media campaign
on COLOMBIANITOS in newspapers, magazines, radio stations and television to request from
you to tell your relatives and friends about your experience with the Organization and the
Sponsorship Program and so encourage them to sponsor our boys and/or girls.
We need the help of more generous people such as you, to take care of the education of one
child. Only giving them the possibility of going to school, as well as investing their free time in
activities that give them civic values such as sports (soccer, table tennis and chess), music,
computers as also school coaching, we will attain their progress and also the progress of the
country in reaching the future we dream.
As it was so well explained by advertising expert, Mr. Jose Miguel Sokoloff, in the special
edition of Semana magazine on ideas for a better country: “If each one of the almost 1 million
one hundred families belonging to 5 and 6 strata would be in charge of the education of one
additional child, Colombia could have many more professionals than the 174,000 who
graduate each year in the country. “ I invite you to motivate your peers on the need to educate
one child less fortunate than us. How to do it? By simply logging to our web page
www.colombianitos.org and clicking on “Sponsor a Child”.
We want to reach our goal of sponsoring all of the 3,500 children that are part of our
Foundation. Up to now, only 310 children are receiving the support of caring people such as
you.
As our new campaing says ”a small donation changes the life of a child ……and yours”
Hopefully, all of us united may reach our objective.
Many, many thanks and our best wishes of well being in 2011.
