At ONE Event, we believe in the power of giving back to the communities that need it most. Social responsibility is at the heart of what we do, and our team in Colombia has been actively involved in a variety of initiatives that support vulnerable groups. From helping children with special needs to providing food to the hungry and promoting sports education, we are committed to creating a positive impact.
While we believe that good actions should often be done quietly, without seeking attention, but we also recognize the importance of sharing examples to inspire others. In this article, we’ve collected some of our recent social activities with the sole intention of setting a positive example.
Here’s a look at some of our recent activities, which show our commitment to social causes.
“Helping others is not just an act of kindness; it’s a ripple that creates waves of change in the world.”
Supporting Fundación Gaby: helping kids with genetic challanges
At Fundación Gaby, we spent an entire day with children who are living with genetic disorders. These kids face daily challenges that most of us can’t imagine, with restricted movement and limited perception.
We played games with them, sharing moments of joy and connection, and donated materials to help with their educational development.
These materials are essential in helping the children develop their motor skills and cognitive abilities. It was an unforgettable experience, and seeing their smiles reinforced why it’s so important to support them in their journey.
Feeding the hungry with Pescador de la Letras
Our next stop was Fundación Pescador de la Letras, an organization dedicated to supporting low-income families.
We donated food to this community, which may seem like a small gesture to some, but for these families, it made a world of difference. In many parts of Colombia, access to basic necessities is a daily struggle.
By contributing food, we helped ease the burden of hunger for these families, and it reminded us that small actions can have a profound impact on people’s lives.
Supporting a senior home in Putumayo
During a visit to the remote region of Putumayo, we had the opportunity to support a local senior home. This area is often overlooked, and seniors here are in need of basic resources.
Our team brought donations to the home, providing supplies that will improve their quality of life. We don’t have pictures from this visit, but the experience left a lasting impression on us. We were able to offer support to an often-forgotten group in this beautiful yet isolated part of Colombia.
These initiatives are just a few examples of how ONE Event is committed to creating a positive and lasting impact in the communities we work with.
From helping children with special needs to providing food and supporting youth through sports, we believe in the importance of social responsibility.
What’s next on our agenda?
Football Club: keeping kids off the streets
One of our most exciting ongoing projects is the launch of a football club for children and teenagers. In many parts of Colombia, kids don’t have access to free sports clubs like in the US, and other first-world countries. This leaves many vulnerable to negative influences on the streets.
To respond to this, we’ve started a football program that will offer weekly training for 50 kids. We’ve already produced the team shirts, and the kids are eager to start.
The aim of this initiative is simple. Provide them with a safe, motivating environment where they can develop their skills, build discipline, and foster teamwork.
We hope this project will not only improve their football skills but also give them a sense of purpose and hope for a brighter future.
We are proud to play a small role in improving the lives of others and hope to continue making a difference through meaningful actions.
