Blog

In our mission to protect, nurture, and educate abandoned children, The Emiliani Project blog highlights mission trips to Colombia including personal stories from volunteers who contribute to helping children live healthy and fulfilling lives, from childhood through early adulthood. This includes a home, nutritious meals, formal education, medical care, counseling, and a loving and caring environment. We work with all children in need, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or gender.
