Yesterday we hosted a gathering of local chefs and musicians for the launch of a kick-off event that will help us create a territorial-scale foundation. We have an advisory council for the Barichara Regeneration Fund that has given out a number of community grants earlier this year. It has been our intention to create a Colombian foundation in support of this work the entire time.
A workgroup was set up to explore what it would require to create a foundation for the community of regenerative practitioners in our territory. This is how we came to be invited to participate in an emerging network of community foundations that operate at the territorial scale. Barichara will be among the first of this type in Colombia.
In the photo above, you can see a gathering of about 30 people to organize the kick-off event. It will take place on November 29th, 2021 and help us bring together the diversity of efforts already underway in our territory.
All of this has been possible because of the Barichara Regeneration Fund. Thank you to all who have supported us so far.
