https://youtube.com/shorts/MCsZhciGULo?feature=share Coquena is a foundation dedicated to the rescue and recovery of animals, located in a small town in Colombia called: Roldanillo - Valle del Cauca. Because my father was born in this town, and I have always been an animal lover, my sister and I have been helping this foundation for several years, since they have very few resources and there's still a lack of education against animal abuse… so it's very common to hear cases of abandonment and abuse.Me with one of the foundation's dogs - 2017I really value what this foundation does for the animals of the region. I have had the opportunity to follow their work closely and I have seen how the owner of the foundation has sacrificed everything to save the lives of many animals... Every week, she finds the way to obtain funds to be able to feed them and continue supplying them with the medicine they require, is a woman that I admire and respect and that I´d like to help, so that she continues to improve the quality of life of many more animals.Me greeting some dogs from the foundation - 2019My sister and I have an angel in our house that we adopted two years ago, and it has been one of the greatest gifts that life has given us. We have had the opportunity to see how love can heal deep wounds from the past, and we managed to get Alana, our dog, to trust humans again.Alana when she was a babyAlana when she was growing upAlana when she already occupied the whole bed (in this photo we were in Roldanillo)Love can transform the world, and we can help in many ways to make this world a better place for everyone. That's why on this occasion I want to help Coquena... soon I hope to be able to join many more projects and different causes. Thank you! ** **
