Make a Lasting Impact!
Hello! We are the Chavarria family
And we are the founders of Dream Connections, an organization born from our family’s deep calling to serve, empower, and inspire hope in the people of Palmira, Colombia.
Our journey began with visits to Colombia over the years, each trip deepening our desire to help others. In 2022, we hosted our first set of service events. Despite limited resources and experience, we managed to provide school supplies to over 100 children in an after-school program and serve 250 hot meals to the local community.
This experience solidified our mission: to serve, empower, and bring hope to those in need. So, in 2023, we made the life-changing decision to leave our home in New York and relocate to Colombia, fully committed to pursuing our dream of serving others.
Since then, we’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families, and we’re dedicated to continuing this work. We believe we can make a lasting difference in Palmira and beyond.
