Pies Descalzos Foundation

I normally write about more technical stuff on my weblog, but for a good cause I make an exception, and Pies Descalzos (Bare Feet) is  a good reason.

The Pies Descalzos Foundation is a non-profit NGO, founded in 1995 by Shakira Mebarak Ripoll, the well-known Colombian artist. In Colombia, three million children can't go to school, two and a half million children work and many thousands of them are physically or sexually abused or live on the streets. Insane numbers!

The goal of the Pies Descalzos Foundation is to help Colombian children who are victims of violence, are displaced or live in poverty. They do this by providing them education, nutrition, health care and psychological support.

The foundation has already build five schools in areas that are seriously affected by internal displacement. So, please pay a visit to the Fundacion Pies Descalzos website and read about the foundation, its history and its goals, and maybe you can contribute to the fate of those children.
