We're pleased to report that Pies Descalzos Foundation and Ayuda en Acción Foundation, with the support of the Cundinamarca’s Provincial Government and Soacha’s Mayor’s office, yesterday opened the “Bosques de la Esperanza” sports field in Soacha, Colombia. The field will hold sport, recreational and academic activities.
 
The sports field has a surface area of 1744 square meters and a 700 square meter dome that “evokes a mass of trees as a symbol of nature, union and hope”, said the architect Giancarlo Mazzanti. Also, 200 additional square meters will be built for Gabriel García Marquez School.

Said Shakira of the opening: "Today, with a lot of joy, we are going to open the doors of this new sports facility - Forest Of Hopes - this is a place that will unite & bring joy to this community
I want to thank Ayuda en Acción (NGO), Soacha's mayor, Gobernor of Cundinamarca and the Pies Descalzos team for their amazing work."
