Colombia Migration Project

Got a link to this site today: Have Money Will Vlog. It's an interesting approach to fundraising, and the featured project is a New York anthropologist's baby, the Colombia Migration Project, a series of interviews with Colombians living abroad. She is raising money to travel to Colombia to interview people waiting to leave. Some estimate that as many as 4.2 million Colombians are currently living abroad, whether for political or economic reasons. About half of these live in North America. In addition, some 3.5 million Colombians have been internally displaced.

Two organizations that help Colombians outside the country contribute: Conexion Colombia and Give to Colombia.
