Volunteering - Organisacion Saciar
Today we met with Beatriz from “Saciar”, a local food bank which distributes all donations it receives from industries in and around Medellin to other local organizations, which in turn distribute it to really poor families.
Saciar also runs a soup kitchen program where they offer breakfast and lunch to needy children in 11 marginal areas of Medellin. The children in these areas are often victims of physical and emotional abuse and in many cases lack any form of TLC and affection.
It is here where we will be helping out by spending time with them. Tomorrow will be our first visit to one of the “templo comunal” (a church which doubles up as a community center). More later…
