Amigos Colombianos, is a Dutch charity organization where Frank van Rijn “the boss himself” is working in the field. This is a life changing help program for streetgirls living in Medellin, Colombia.
Frank van Rijn says:
In early 2000Ifirst arrivedin Medellin.Ambulatoryyouth worker inthe Netherlands, Idecided to contactwith the street childrenI saw onthe streets everywhere. I was astonished atthe circumstances in whichchildrenwere trying tosurvive.Withoutexception, theyhavealready had to dealintheir youthwith a combination ofmistreatment, abuse, extreme poverty anddrug use. Whatadifferencewithourcarefreeexistencein the Netherlands!
Frank van Rijn
I realizedthatwith relatively littlehelp, I coulddramatically improve thequality of life andthe future prospectsof these children.I alsofound outthat forstreetgirls,in contrast of boy, therewas totallyno help.That is whyI founded in2002AmigosColombianos. Meanwhile, thanks to the support ofthousands of people inthe Netherlands,hundreds of streetgirls received theopportunitythrough ourprogramto buildan acceptablefuture.With psychologicalcounseling,education, trainingand work.
Because this is a Dutch organisation, most videos are in the Dutch languages. Allthough the images do not need any language.
