The Green Hope Colombia Fund   Community Center in Cazucá     The Green Hope Colombia Foundation, in 2012, was contacted by Starkey Hearing Foundation, directed by Mr. Bill Austin, interested to develop a social project in Colombia. In the beginning they wanted to come to the Amazon Forest, but after analyze the logistics they decided to make a social work in Bogotá.   The Green Hope Colombia Foundation, decided to support Nukanti Foundation, who work in social work, children rights and young people in Altos del Pino, in Cazucá; Bogotá DC.   We visited the area, and after some meetings with local community leaders, we decided where it might be built the community center. The directors of Green Hope Colombia Foundation and Nukanti Foundation, Miss. Niousha Roshani; agreed to build an architecture with recycled plastic PET bottles, as an ecologic - environmental model in the area.   We organize a schedule with Starkey Hearing Foundation crew, and the architectural project was developed. After 3 months of planning and work, the community center was completed. Now is used for cultural, educational purposes and as a children community kitchen.   We hope to receive more support from the local government and private enterprise to continue our work and strengthen this type of project for a positive future for children.   During the project, a documentary filmed on experiences and project development.
