AYUDA DIRECTA : from hand to hand

This is a non-profit family initiative seeking to aid needy families in Asia.
The people behind it are Constance Cremers and Juan Forcano, a couple who, after years of circumnavigating the globe, decided they wanted to help the people they met on their travels through India and other Asian countries.
Starting with the idea that a small amount of money can go a long way, they began to get involved with the families they met on their travels. Before setting off on a new trip they make the round of friends and family at home, collecting donations towards the work. They have managed to bring help and happiness to several families in India and Sri Lanka simply by covering some of their basic needs such as finding a place to live or a means to earn a living.
These micro-projects are funded, managed and supervised by Constance and Juan. They do not give the money directly to the families, but see each project through to completion themselves.

Constance Cremers and Juan Forcano are the parents of Sa Taronja's belly-dance teacher Karen. We admire the work they are doing and are convinced that this one-to-one, hands-on help
is transforming the lives of the people it touches. It is a small, precious drop in the ocean of need, and deserves to be supported and applauded. If you cannot come on October 1st, but would like to make a donation to the cause, you can send a donation to the bank account (below) with the notification "Ayuda Directa":
