The amazing team of workers we spent the last day with when in Bucaramanga, Colombia. I was there with World Vision Canada to document the work that volunteers do and to share stories of child sponsorship and the impact that makes. What an honour, truly.
The Trip
It was a trip that puts the world in perspective in many ways and helped me to see advocacy at work on a global perspective for children.
I am sharing my journey to Colombia with World Vision Canada here on the blog in a series.

How to Make a Difference
Sponsor a child and change a community. Or you can buy something for someone this year that makes a difference to an entire community like this one in Bucaramanga. There is a bit of everything in the gift catalogue. From soccer balls, to chickens and goats to latrines and medicine. Or you can help to buy a community centre.
