This month, we provided art supplies for Voices of Peace. An art project to help children and families affected by the ongoing war in Colombia. 🎨

Millions of families have had to abandon their homes due to armed conflict in Colombia. To help heal from the trauma of war, refugees and members of the community painted a canvas mural at the Center for Memory, Peace, and Reconciliation in the city of Bogota.

Thank you to all those involved!
