OUR TEAM

The project is led by two high school students from St. Brendan High School in Miami, Florida, dedicated to supporting the students of Fundación Quindiana de Atención Integral.

Alejandra Garcia

Co-Founder

I’ve always believed that the power of education lies not just in textbooks or exams, but in the ability to transform lives. As an 11th grader at St. Brendan High School, I am a dedicated student with a deep passion for learning, but also for helping others achieve their fullest potential. My connection to the Fundación Quindiana de Atención Integral (FQAI) goes beyond academics—it’s deeply personal. My grandmother and aunt both worked at the school, and I grew up witnessing the incredible impact this institution has had on the lives of children with disabilities. I’ve seen how this school has become a beacon of hope for students who would otherwise be left behind, teaching them the life skills that will one day empower them to find independence and success.

The more I think about these students, the more I’m reminded of why I’m so committed to this cause. Their resilience, determination, and unwavering hope inspire me every day, and it is these qualities that fuel my dedication to ensuring they continue to have the opportunities they deserve. The FQAI is a place where children, who face unimaginable challenges, are given a chance to rewrite their futures. I know firsthand that when we support the most vulnerable in our communities, we are ultimately making the world a better place.

Natalie Sandigo

Co-Founder

I’ve always seen education as a powerful tool for transformation, not just a means to pass exams, but a way to unlock limitless possibilities. As an 11th grader at St. Brendan High School, I’m passionate about my own growth and dedicated to helping others realize and reach their full potential. Though I wasn’t born in Colombia, my experiences growing up in an underserved community taught me the importance of access to resources and the transformative power of education. With a mother who works as a special education teacher, I’ve witnessed firsthand how personalized education can empower students to overcome challenges and achieve their dreams.

When I learned about FQAI and its mission to support students with disabilities in Armenia, Colombia, I immediately felt connected to its purpose. This project is my way of giving back—not only by helping provide much-needed resources but also by showing these students that their potential is seen, valued, and supported by a global community. I am honored to dedicate my time and energy to The Brighter Tomorrow Project and to help turn these students’ challenges into stories of resilience, independence, and success.

Our First Project

At Fundación Quindiana de Atención Integral (FQAI), one of the most impactful programs is the agricultural training section, where students with disabilities are taught essential farming and gardening skills. This hands-on learning not only provides them with valuable life skills, but also empowers them to pursue future employment opportunities in agriculture—a key path to independence for many of these students.

However, the school lacked the basic tools and equipment necessary to properly conduct these lessons. Toolkits and gardening hats were essential for their daily work in the garden, where they grow crops and learn techniques that directly support future job opportunities. Without these materials, students were unable to fully engage in this vital program.

Thanks to our donation of toolkits and gardening hats, students were given the resources they needed to continue their education and develop life skills that will serve them for years to come. These donations allowed them to learn in a safe, effective, and supportive environment, ensuring they have the tools to succeed in farming and gardening careers. The impact of these contributions extends far beyond the classroom—it’s an investment in the future of these students and a meaningful step toward their independence and empowerment.

Help Us Build a Roof for the Students of FQAI

As part of our ongoing passion project with the Fundación Quindiana de Atención Integral in Armenia, Colombia, we are taking on a new mission: raising $2,000 to build a proper roof for the children’s greenhouse garden.

This greenhouse is more than just a space for growing food. It is a critical part of the students’ education, where they learn practical agricultural skills that promote independence and future employment opportunities. Many of these students have disabilities, and the garden offers them hands-on learning in a safe, structured environment.

However, without a roof, the garden and its crops are constantly exposed to heavy rain and intense sun. This limits the students' ability to learn and harvest food consistently. A secure roof would provide year-round protection, allowing the program to continue delivering meaningful instruction and nourishment.

We have seen firsthand how dedicated this community is to supporting its students. Now, they need our help.

Every contribution brings us closer to building a safer, stronger space where these students can grow, learn, and thrive.
