Christmas Dinner 2009

Dear friends,

We had a dinner with friends, volunteers, and donors last December. Here some pictures. Certainly, a nice moment to talk about what stichting CA did during the 2009: the conclusion of the projects with FUNDEA and BELA FLOR, the Sol and Cine Filmfestival at Lumen Filmhuis-Delft, and of course, the projects for the 2010. We would like to thank everybody who gave a little of their time, or more, to this foundation the last 12 months.

We are fewer than previous years, many of our members who were grad-students have moved or started new phases in their lives, and consequently, they are not longer fully active in our foundation. However, they had left an excellent work and a lot of motivation for new and old members and volunteers. In 2010, we are sure we will continue helping vulnerable communities/groups in Colombia. In this moment we are looking for one or two productive and sustainable projects that we can help with advising and founds.

You are always welcome to contact us, either because you know a possible foundation or project that needs our help, or because you want to be part of CA as member or volunteer.

CA wish you an excellent 2010, full of health, love and peace.
