Colombia has seen as many as 3.8 million people driven from their homes by violence brought on by paramilitary and rebel forces battling for territorial control with the government resulting in Colombia ranking third in the world after Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo for the largest number of internally displaced people (IDPs).

Building on the successful initial project in Bogota in November 2009, CWB returns to Colombia this November and December to bring relief to the vulnerable children of Colombia who have lived through war and poverty by bringing performances and workshops to orphanages, community centers and hospitals.

CWB participants include Gwen Rooker, Barnaby King and Adrian Mejia and guest artists Lucho, Wilma and Yuri (TBC).

The project’s main local partner is Arte Para la Paz, a Bogota based NGO. Partner institutions include Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF) ; Colombia Progresa and Alejandrito Corazon.
