Our Programs

La Mesa, Colombia

Since 2010, we have supported a small school in La Mesa, Colombia. Teaching thirty children every year gives us the opportunity to provide an education to almost all the children in the community.

This opportunity focuses on exploring Colombian culture right in a village called La Mesa, right outside of the capital of Bogotá. We had volunteers from New York, Maryland, and from Villa De Leyva. This week long workshop focuses on teaching English basics, math, arts and crafts, and health and nutrition.

Gaithersburg, MD

Chicos and kids supports low-income families and refugee children from Maryland. We collect donations like winter clothing, toys, and gift cards to support these families during the holiday season. We also work with St. Andrew's Episcopal School to create workshops with children at Gaithersburg Elementary School.
