Fundación Mi Sangre is a non-profit organization created in 2006 by Colombian singer-song-writer Juanes. Juanes' logo for the organization, shown to the left, translates to Foundation of My Blood, for the children of your children.
The last line of the logo comes from a famous song Juanes wrote called A Dios Le Pido, I ask God. The purpose of this organization is to promote peace in Colombia, especially with the inter-conflicts within the Country.
The money raised for the organization goes toward prosthetic limbs for children that arms and legs from landmines in Colombia.
Prosthetic limbs are very expensive and children grow constantly, so they are in need of multiple legs through their childhood. This is done so they are able to grow comfortably.
With this being, in a third world country not just anyone can afford to pay for the prosthetic limb much less multiple pairs, that is why this organization is so important. I know that many of us get caught up in our own worlds and are too busy to realize whats going on in other parts of the world. We need to start giving helping hands to the rest of the world and I know we should all start with this one.
