Our mixed rafting team #RaftingForPeace, composed of former combatants in reintegration process and local communities of the Pato region in San Vicente del Caguán, Caquetá, qualified as a Colombian national team to the world rafting championship organized by the World Rafting Federation -WRF in Valtellina, Italy at the end of June 2023.

Rafting for Peace is a Sports Club formally constituted and led by people in reintegration process. We have two men's teams and one mixed team and we are also implementing training workshops with children from the surrounding villages as an option for human development, rooting to the territory and prevention of violence dynamics.

We had the unforgettable opportunity to represent Colombia in the rafting world championship in Tully, Australia in 2019 and we have also participated in national and regional rafting events of competition, spreading out a message of peace and reconciliation to society in general, and also with nature.

Currently we need to raise financial support to cover our logistics and travel expenses to Italy. It is estimated that the costs per person are approximately 12 million pesos, and we need to cover a delegation of 7 people (5 athletes, 1 technical director and 1 companion).

We make a call to companies, organizations, philanthropists and / or potential sponsors to support and join this initiative of sport and peace and contribute to this dream of keeping #RaftingForPeace.
