And it is that the 32-year-old Colombian has already made it clear and given ample evidence of her commitment to social functions and integration towards the most vulnerable sectors and groups.

In the case of the training scholarship program announced by Carol G. (“With Heart”) and johana bahamon (“Internal Action”), is aimed at people over 18 years of age, who reside in Bogotá (Colombia) and are in some of the aforementioned situations. The objective is for them to acquire basic training and the necessary strength to face jobs. Financial education, customer service and management of technological tools are some of the topics in which they are prepared. In addition, they will be prepared in trades such as gastronomy or clothing.
Beyond preparing women in the workplace, the spirit of these scholarships promoted by NGOs led by Carol G. and johana bahamon is to reduce recidivism in women (people who commit crimes again after leaving prison).
The foundation “With Heart”in charge of Carol G., was created a little less than a year ago. Its goals include promoting the social, economic, artistic, psychological and spiritual support of women in vulnerable situations.
