Since March 2006, the Angeles de Medellin Foundation has been a program helping poor and displaced children and families in Medellin, Colombia. In our office in the barrio of Regalo de Dios each day more than 75 children and adults visit the center to learn English and computers and have a safe environment to learn and discover new worlds. Also, the children play baseball, soccer and American football among other sports. Please view different videos on Facebook and Youtube.

On Saturday July 21, 2012 The Angeles de Medellin held their own LONDRES Olympics for over 350 children in the mountains.  The Volunteers spent a full day making 8 flags from Great Britain, United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and of course COLOMBIA.

Each team had 3 adult Captains, and after 8 different events Brazil and New Zealand tied for 1st place.  The highlight race of all events was the LEAP FROG event where a dust storm was created with hundreds of kids leaping over one another laughing, falling and doing their best to win a medal.

Thanks to Larry Guilford each child from the top 3 teams actually received a medal and the cheers from each country yelling come on Colombia, come on Gran Britiana, go USA made it a wonderful day.

After the Olympics the children enjoyed fruit, candy, cookies and a gift from many people throughout the world that donated money to Los Angelitos de Medellin.








Thank you to all the Volunteers, Children and the good weather for a special day in the mountains of Medellin, Colombia.
