GOOD DEEDS DAY IN COLOMBIA
Good Deeds Day was first celebrated in Colombia in 2016, with an activity in the Mother and Baby Unit of the Hospital Universitario de Sincelejo (Sucre), where we shared out gifts for hospitalized children and layettes for newborn babies. In the following years, the activities spread to universities and non-profits, which benefited schools and vulnerable communities. Since 2019, Universidad de Magdalena joined the Board. We are currently working strongly in Sincelejo and Santa Marta all year long, and our goal is to have our project expanded to a national scope and remain a strong, constant movement.
Join us and let’s become a strong national movement together!

MISSION STATEMENT
Good Deeds Day includes organizations that promote activities in different departments throughout the country. Our organizations seek to tackle an array of social issues, promoting education on different areas, including health, environmental protection and youth leadership.
We foster a healthy lifestyle and habits, providing communities with health care services for diabetes, vision problems and childhood cancer. We also strive to alleviate hunger by making donations to vulnerable populations, and to empower them so that they produce social leaders who can transform their reality.
