Medellin (Angels of Medellin) is working with Colombia Reports to bring Christmas to 3,000 children and 1,000 families this year.
Founder Mark
Kaseman
has lived in Medellin for the past six years, and has been volunteering his time and resources to help provide for the basic needs of the displaced people living in the mountains around Medellin. "When I started there were 5,000 people living in this area. Today there are 10,000," Kaseman told Colombia Reports.
During the year Kaseman works in a school teaching English and computers, but outside of his classes Kaseman works on an ambitious project to serve the people around him. He organizes a lunch program for children in the school. "Many kids go a day or more without food," he explains. "One dollar can feed one kid lunch and a snack for five days." "
