The Cartagena Christmas Fundraiser
DLG organized a fundraiser in the Fall of 2017, and with the profits, we were able to purchase and send Christmas gifts to the children of the girls we met in Cartagena.
Months after our workshops, we were still in contact and wishing them the best.
Bogota, Colombia - 2018
Fundacion Accion Interna-Bogota
DLG donated 20 machines to Fundacion Accion Interna in Bogota, Colombia.
Fundacion Accion Interna-Bogota was founded by a Colombian artist, Johana Bahamon, to dignify and improve the quality of life of inmates and those that have already been released in Colombia.
It is intended to transform, vindicate and reconcile the prison population with a second opportunity in life.
Quibdo, El Choco, Colombia, , 2022
In January 2022, DLG traveled to Quibdó, Colombia, alongside Laura Naranjo, a fashion and textile designer, and the founder of the Colombian underwear brand Somos Martina, Juliana Villegas. Together, this creative team partnered with the local organization Fundación Espíritu Indomable to teach girls how to make reusable feminine pads.
The sewing machines used in the workshop were generously donated by US based organization, The Sewing Machine Project. This collaboration brought together organizations with shared missions to provide much-needed support to a young, growing community on the Pacific coast of Colombia. DLG’s second workshop in Colombia.
