Michelle Pfeifer is our hero in America
Michelle Pfeifer, Colombian, from Jupiter, Florida, USA, 17 year old student, is our heroine in the United States, thanks to her outstanding leadership and commitment to the Colombian Amazons' indigenous children.
Michelle has been committed to social causes of the triple border countries; Colombia, Brasi, and Peur, for three years now.
She has managed to support social causes from anonymity since she believes that the important thing is to change the world with the right actions regardless of who performs them.
This is why we want the people to know about our representative Michelle, so that more young people can reflect and worry about the social causes occurring currently in this world.

Mission

History
AMAZONAS SIN LIMITES In 2009, Pompilio Andrés Losada Pinzón realized need for attention to vulnerable families and in situation of disable people and their families in the city of Leticia, Andrés looked for ways to find alternatives that would not only help the disabled but also their families. The first assistance to people with disability happened thanks to the support of Father Jaime García Cuéllar of the JBO Salesian Center in the city of Bogotá. These families received more than 3 tons in aid such as wheelchairs, crutches, walking sticks, toys, clothes, mattresses and helped more than 300 families in 2010.
On March 2, 2011 Andrés officially registered AMAZONAS SIN LIMITES before the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Leticia.
The foundation also initiated a recycling project in the city of Leticia with the support of the Colombian Volunteers ladies of Miami. Its objective is to educate the citizen about how to separate garbage and recyclable material, and to participate voluntarily in the process of recollection of recyclable materials.
This activity began to help not only families in situations of disability but also provided employment to families in extreme poverty, who already participated informally in the process of recollection of recyclable materials. The environment,, the Amazonas River have also benefited from this activities.
