Listen "Part 2: Youth Crime & Violence In Colombia - Catalina Cock Duque & Artist Juanes Fight To Save The Youth"
Episode Synopsis
👩🏻 Welcome to part 2 of my conversation with Catalina Cock Duque, Co-Founder of Foundation "Mi Sangre".
What we talk about:
00:00 Transforming a Society
07:36 How to Co-create Change
13:26 Key Learnings for a Peaceful Society
16:35 How to Support "Mi Sangre"
Mi Sangre was co-founded by Catalina Cock Duque and Music Star Juanes. Here his comments on the What and Why of the foundation in a Billboard article (Source = https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/6730154/juanes-philanthropy-colombia-mi-sangre-foundation):
As Colombia's civil war winds down, the Latin rocker, 43, shares with Billboard his hopes for his Mi Sangre Foundation, which has provided support for thousands of landmine victims since 2006. The name Mi Sangre [My Blood] is inspired by the same sentiment behind my [2004] album of the same name: It’s about my children, my children’s children, my land, my roots. It’s what hurts and what’s important to me. When I wrote [2000’s] “Fijate Bien” about landmine victims, I was living in Los Angeles; I would speak to my mother every day, as I still do, about what was going on back home in Colombia. But it wasn’t until I went and talked to people face-to-face that I understood the gravity of the situation. I remember being invited to sing for wounded soldiers. Hearing firsthand the stories of people who had been directly affected by the conflict, it moved me to the point that I said, “I want to do something. “Colombia’s transition toward a peaceful society is our priority. The government is negotiating for peace with [left-wing guerrilla group] FARC. After nearly 60 years of fighting, so much blood has been spilled, but it’s a historic moment because we will be able to start a new chapter based on forgiveness and reconciliation.
