Volunteers in Action we are changing the world

Learn all about our volunteer programs

We want to wake up in some cases and in others, strengthen that flame of volunteer that each human being carries within and keep it alive so that with a smile, faith and hope we can all build a better world.

The Fundación Proyecto Unión was created in 1999 with the aim of generating a positive change in the conditions of the vulnerable and special populations of our country, rescuing the hope of hundreds of children with difficult-to-manage diseases as well as the elderly inhabitants of Street. For this reason, the work carried out by each of our volunteer angels is considered of vital importance, attending to the needs and contributing in different ways to the improvement of the quality of life of those who need it most.

The vision of the “Volunteers in Action We are Changing the World” program is to become a strengthened program at the national and international level that works comprehensively for inclusion, equity and attention to the needs of the most vulnerable population, generating personal and professional growth in the community of volunteers achieving great transformations in society.

Currently the program offers the possibility to foreign volunteers to volunteer at Casa de los Ángeles, municipality of Tocancipá, which functions as a foster home to care for sick children from faraway places requiring medical treatment in the capital, always in the company of a family member, for as long as necessary. International volunteers who sign up for the program have the possibility of stay in comfortable rooms in the house and eat during your stay, in an environment specially designed for the recovery of children. The house has a spacious reading, music and art rooms, surrounded by nature and with the possibility of interacting with the biodiversity of the place, learning and carrying out conservation of the environment in the Sabana Ecopark.
