TKO Helping HandsTurn Kindness On

Kindness Around the World: ColombiaJanuary 12, 2010

TKO heads to Colombia!

TKO Kindness Ambassador Alejandra Bonilla recently went back to her hometown of Periera, Colombia to help turn kindness on with Reskate Juvenil, an organization that works to bring kids in from the street.

Started by Eduardo Castillo, a man who spent 34 years of his life homeless on the streets of Periera, Reskate Juvenil is a 100% donation-run organization that helps homeless youth, young drug addicts, and prostitutes restart their lives.

While working with the organization, Alejandra, her husband Keith, and daughter Manuela helped collect donated items like soap, deodorant, food, toothpaste, toothbrushes, underwear, towels, clothes, etc. that were given from generous families throughout the city.

Even though they’ve done community outreach work for years, all three said that they were inspired by Keanu and Tristen to get more involved on this recent trip, and TKO is excited to have them as part of the team! It’s truly people like Eduardo, Alejandra, Manuela, and Keith who inspire us to do more to touch the lives of others all over the world.

Next time you’re traveling, take the spirit of TKO with you and turn kindness on!
