We provide innovative neurological rehabilitation programs for kids with cognitive, physical and intellectual disabilities as well as a personalized educational program that enhances reading, writing and memory skills. We are a diverse group of professionals working together to create a loving, positive and caring environment for our students and the best programs to develop independence, inclusion, productivity and excellence in all areas. It is our goal to educate families and communities about the great potential of those kids with special needs and to provide a space for our volunteers where they can learn to accept and believe in their capacities and develop compassion and kindness towards this vulnerable population.

Learning to believe in the potential that special needs kids have and contributing to their learning and rehabilitation environment, not only creates big and important changes in their lives but whoever is involved in any of these processes is impacted in every way. We believe that developing compassion, kindness, understanding, tolerance, patience, caring and love while caring for those in need is to make this world a better place. The prejudice and negative approaches to this vulnerable population is something that must be changed. Our families, communities, towns and countries will be a less hostile places for this kids to live, if we all learn to appreciate their joy, innocence, intelligence and love.

San Gil is the Adventure Capital of Colombia, there are beautiful sights and places to explore. You will have weekends packed with activities that we can help organize. We recommend you to budget your stay in town during the weekends so you can have more time off. The school is located in the rural area 20 minutes by bus from San Gil downtown and arriving late is not a good idea. Barichara is only 30 minutes from San Gil, Bucaramanga 2 hours, and the spectacular Chicamocha Canyon is only 45 minutes away. You can do bungee jumping, rafting, caving, ziplining, paragliding, rappeling, mountain biking and hundreds of hikes!!! believe us you will never get bored!!
