Mi Sangre Fundation

Juanes is a Colombian singer, Juan Esteban Aristizabal, who started singing with some friends in the city where he was born, Medellin. With the time they started a band that sang Spanish Rock and became famous in our country. The name of the band was Ekhymosis. They were together for many years, but once they decided to disolve the group.  After this, Juanes became a soloist and his career grew up fast. Now he is a excelent and famous artist know all over the world, winner of 17 Grammy awards and a social leader, know for his big philanthropy sense and proximity to the social and humanitarian conflicts in the world, especially in Colombia.

As many people know, my country lives a ongoing war between the guerrillas and the militia, but not only them suffer the consequences: hundreds of innocent people die every day victims of the violence, but many others had to face the violence with a trace on them for their whole lives; children and adults every day fall down as victims of landmineslosing their lives or loosing a tip body, such as a leg or arm.

All this situation motivated Juanes to stablish a foundation in 2006, where he could help people affected by this violence in any way, and is here when Fundacion Mi Sangre (Por los hijos de tus hijos), or  My Blood Foundation (For the cildren of your children) in English, born to contribute to children to be the main characters at peace making.

This foundation works as a link between the local community and the national and international community investing economic and technical resources for social investment. Its outstanding work is based on to identify, formulate, manage and monitor high impact projects, and their rigor and transparency in resources management.  To visit his website and check it out go to http://www.fundacionmisangre.org/ .
