I set the spotlights on

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 2000 I first arrived in Medellin. Ambulatory youth worker in the Netherlands, I decided to contact with the street children I saw on the streets everywhere. I was astonished at the circumstances in which children were trying to survive. Without exception, they have already had to deal in their youth with a combination of mistreatment, abuse, extreme poverty and drug use. What a difference with our carefree existence in the Netherlands!

I realized that with relatively little help, I could dramatically improve the quality of life and the future prospects of these children. I also found out that for street girls, in contrast of boy, there was totally no help. That is why I founded in 2002 Amigos Colombianos. Meanwhile, thanks to the support of thousands of people in the Netherlands, hundreds of street girls received the opportunity through our program to build an acceptable future. With psychological counseling, education, training and work.

Because this is a Dutch organisation, most videos are in the Dutch languages. Allthough the images do not need any language.
