Sogrome, Colombia Project

Boulder Flatirons Rotarian Kristen Wegner with members of the Sogrome, Colombia community

Boulder Flatirons Rotarian and former Ambassadorial Scholar Kristin Wegner met the Sogrome community in 2011 when living and studying in Colombia. While volunteering with the community on a Digital Narrative Project with Microsoft Colombia, she met Ruperto, an Arhuaco community leader and current Microsoft employee. Ruperto reached out to Kristin to inquire about ways Rotary could help support the development of their community.

Flatirons Rotary has committed to advocate for the following projects in Sogrome through a Global Grant:

• Basic Education and Literacy:  School materials: books, computers, solar panels for computers, chairs, tables, desks.
• Maternal and Child Health: Health training; Health materials: vaccines, refrigerators for vaccines.
• Economic and Community Development: Alternative income generation skills and support (such as citrus fruit, rabbits, chicken, coffee)
