Since 2005, our organization has been doing valuable work thanks to Maureen Orth's vision and dedication. Born in the United States but with an immense love for Colombia, Maureen came to the country in the 1960s as a Peace Corps volunteer. During her stay in Medell\u00edn, she worked side by side with the community of the Bel\u00e9n - Las Violetas neighborhood and the village of Aguas Fr\u00edas to build two classrooms and give the children of the village the opportunity to study.

\nThe school, inaugurated in 1965, is named after Marina Orth as a tribute to her social work and her personal commitment to educational transformation in the least fortunate and most remote areas of Colombia.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"Our work is not charity. There is no better way to change the world than to inspire, coach and educate children and young people to believe they can make a positive difference. By educating Colombia's most valuable resource, its children, we not only transform their lives, but we help transform the country and grow its GDP. \" -Maureen Orth<\/b><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
