About us
Our motto : Culture as Compassion
The Foster Club was born as a
manifestation of the social responsibility of young professionals located in or from Medellin (Colombia). With the aim of expanding the sense of
responsibility toward animals the Foster Club has flourished as an
initiative of a group of friends from different disciplines and
backgrounds. We believe in charity and compassion without distinction
amongst species. We believe that cultural expressions have to be
consistent with a sense of ethics that include animals as sentient
beings. All the members of the Foster Club shared similar ethical values
towards nature and animals and in addition, share the sense of
responsibility for improving the living conditions of the abandoned
animals of the city, including the people that dedicate their lives to
animal shelters. The Foster Club recognizes that although there is an
important amount of International Organizations related to animal
welfare, resources and political will is always scarce. We are
particularly aware of the financial struggles of small organizations and
animal shelters. Behind many of these little animal shelters there are
goodhearted people that dedicate their lives and personal finances to
alleviate the pain and abandon of animals. The Foster Club is eager to
make a difference.
The Foster Club is a group of enthusiastic
young professional fellows deeply engaged with animal welfare causes.
The members share a deep love for arts and culture and make from shared
values and aesthetic affinity, the perfect excuse to get together and
organize fund raising events to sponsor animal charities. In order to
fulfil our engagement to the animal cause we collect funds to contribute
to the support of animal shelters that provide a home to abandoned and
abused animals.
The Foster Club aim to rescue old-fashion
customs such as the Victorian tea, baroque concerts in the garden and
even the pleasure of reading and selling old books as occasions to make
creative fund-raising events for animals. In the future, the Foster Club
will be also engaged with art auctions for a noble cause. The Foster
Club also aims to develop networking activities in order to promote
animal welfare in Medellin. In doing so, the Foster Club Members aim to
mobilize actions based on the alerts coming from international
organizations such as PETA and IFAW.
