Don Ramiro - Shelter for the Elderly Homeless

​Don Ramiro is a working 68-yr old nurse who cares for up to 14 other elderly who otherwise would not have a home of their own. The region's hospital calls on Don Ramiro to take-in any terminally ill patient or elderly who does not have any family to claim them.  While is relentless spirit of service and boundless resourcefulness to care for his 'children' as he calls them, is astounding. But you are welcome to lend a hand.

Reviews

We love the concept of Minga House Foundation!  
Travel with a purpose! Colombia's Coffee Region is one of the most beautiful places on Earth; and Colombia is the 2nd most bio-diverse country in the world, next to Brazil. I love Colombia, my year-round Spring weather paradise.
