Smile and Learn

La Guajira Department - “Smile and Learn” is a cultural program of the foundation. The Anawa Project seeks to leave a legacy of respect and empathy for all forms of life. Through awareness-raising workshops in vulnerable communities, artistic and recreational activities are carried out with children. These creative activities are designed to empower them, encouraging ways to improve their situation, promote entrepreneurship, and take advantage of the natural environment to improve their living conditions, fostering empathy and respect. You can be an active part of these workshops, working side by side with the Wayuu communities.

Playas de Mayapo - At the end of the day, we will conclude the trip in one of the most beautiful places in Mayapo. We will enjoy one of the most impressive sunsets you have ever seen while sharing with many rescued dogs that live in this wonderful place.
