Since 2023, ten SSSIO volunteers in Colombia have been providing loving care to over 100 elderly residents at the San Joaquín and Santa Ana Geriatric Homes, located in the municipality of San Francisco, Cundinamarca, as well as at four other locations in Bogotá. The dedicated volunteers bring love, joy, and entertainment in addition to necessities such as food and warm clothing. Many of the residents in these homes have been abandoned by their families, making the presence and attention of the volunteers a vital source of comfort and human connection. As a gesture of compassion and empathy, some volunteers dress as clowns to bring added joy and lightness to the moments shared.
This year, 14 elderly residents at the Funza unit received sweatshirts, snacks, and food supplies on January 18. On March 16, 45 elderly residents in the San Francisco Unit received bed linens, a snack, and food supplies. These acts of loving service reaffirm the commitment to selfless service and loving care for those most in need, offering not only material donations but, above all, attention, dignity, and joy to each of the elderly individuals served.
