A magic place full of charm. �� Love to our neighbors.
Please see the images of our Home for the Elderly.
Individual apartments for our senior citizens with gardens, orchards,
gathering places,
and lots of love to our brothers and sisters with
economic needs.
Individual apartments for our senior citizens with gardens, orchards, gathering places,
and lots of love to our brothers and sisters with economic needs.
Dulazar provides housing as a loan ( without rent ) to elderly people that
have endured very difficult economic conditions.
In a beautiful place on the hills overlooking the city of Medell�n,
Colombia.
The sight of the valley is wonderful. Behind our homes, there are great
mountains full of majestic pine trees.

What charms our visitors is not the sights, the refreshing wind
of the woods or the silence, but to see our happy senior citizens
enjoying a time of life, where there is also beauty and
kindness.
| To the left : Our Old Lady Friends have several orchards and vegetable gardens. Work dignifies human existence and gives sense to the life of the Elderly and those with slight health problems. |
| To the left :
Our Elderly with larger health problems find company, friendship, and
support. Her friends invite Marg�, the little lady with the cane for a walk
to see the works in the orchards. |
Homes of San Carlos
Provides housing for the Elderly as a loan ( no rent ) :
The homes of San Carlos were built as the renovation of an old building,
1500 square meters, 24 apartaments with green zones, big comunitary rooms
and a gimnasium.
Caring for parents, grandparents, granduncles
42 persons live now here, they have found company, solidarity and a roof.
Some of their relatives are young and this increases the sense of integration
to life and the possibilities of mutual help. The young people work inside and
outside, they get the prescriptions for the elderly, they help, go with their
old relatives to the physician, and most important, they generate income for
the family.
Each family is autonomous and responsible for its own apartment and food.
This is not a refuge or a prison with bars, everybody has his own budget,
his own meals and schedules, and gets out whenever he or she wants.
There is total independence for each human being for a normal life.
With the advantage of having friends and common projects, nobody is forced
to participate in parties, games, activities or works. We have observed that
these families are very enthusiastic about these social activities and nobody
stays home, except the sick.
This system of not depending on an institution for food and meals,
schedules, clothes, laundry, etc, helps people to stay young and sprightful,
our eldest citizens are vital, they keep their mental and physical health without
being monitored like prisoners. However there is strong solidarity with the
neighbors in case of sickness, chirurgy, or emergencies.
If someones has a project of life, then every day new hopes are born,
that means a young spirit, and a feeling of being useful and a participant of
life. This place is not to wait for Death but to long for Life.
Medical treatment and medicines
Dulazar affiliates its citizens to medical emergency services, this is not
perfect, big operations are not covered, nor can we pay costly medicines,
because of lack of budget,
But we do the best we can within our limitations.
We are obssesed with the miracles that a little help can
work on the Elderly. But, in other towns we have built housing for young
couples with small children and have lent them money to buy their own home.
This has a wonderful effect on the neighborhoods, communities and towns,
where our organization operates.
Photos : Friendship and Mutual Support. This is particularly important
for Elder People. A sense of Home and Community is wonderful when you are
old and prone to disease.
Solidarity : To love relatives and friends, to have animals and plants, to care for the
friend or relative who is sick, to share.....
Our Senior Citizens long for more and better opportunities of employment.
They dream that private entrepreneurs send more 'maquila' work
( that is making clothes, dolls, food, etc... ). It's wonderful when they
can work at home, since their age can limit their mobility.
Dreams can become real. Dreams are not only for the Young.
If we can communicate, then we build a better and more human World.
Perhaps, we can learn from those that have endured economic and health
hardships. They give example to us everyday, each day is a triumph of
faith, hope and joy.
Union, Solidarity, Togetherness : �� We can give meaning to our existence.
