PAINTING A DREAMĪ chocolate business that build communities Thus, concretizing great teamwork and strengthening the links between Luker Chocolate and the community. Also, the community was responsible for preparing breakfast, lunch, and food. And red for the love they have for their community and families.Įach volunteer helped two families to paint their houses while receiving help from the inhabitants who had been training with the Orbis-Pintuco Foundation. Yellow represents the prosperity achieved in the cocoa fields. Green represents the peace found in the village. The palette was selected to represent the colors found in the cultivation of cocoa.Ĭolors that for the Caribia population have a deep meaning. On June 22nd of 2020, more than 30 volunteers and Caribans united their efforts around the dream of turning Caribia into the most colorful place in Necoclí. Chocolate production and social impactĪnd the big day finally arrived. Additionally, 30 of our collaborators, including the management committee, traveled as volunteers to take part in Pinta Caribia. Now we only needed the materials, because we had to collect 500 gallons of paint.īetween the Orbis Pintuco Foundation, Luker Chocolate, and its collaborators, we collected donations to reach the goal.

An initiative in which 20 young people from Caribia applied to receive training as technicians in painting.

The Orbis-Pintuco Foundation helped us to create a program. A day in which volunteers from Luker Chocolate, and inhabitants of Caribia, would paint as a team until the last house of the village. Together we saw the potential of doing an artistic day. An organization with experience generating development through education and colour in vulnerable populations around Colombia. This is how we got in touch with the Orbis-Pintuco Foundation. With our hearts filled with empathy, and lots of excitement, the sustainability team of The Chocolate Dream started to materialize the execution of Pinta Caribia. Something that not only nurtures the beans but also nurtures lives and builds dreams around it. It is the tangible metaphor and magical realism that exists around the cocoa pod. This is how Pinta Caribia was born.įor us, Pinta Caribia is more than an initiative. With this grand challenge on our hands, Luker Chocolate recruited happy volunteers to paint the Caribia dream in colors. Transforming Caribia into a vibrant touristic destination. We were thrilled to display that inner beauty in the community. Also, their relentless desire to move forward. This is by helping them spread to the world the energy and generosity their people carry in their hearts. It was an excellent opportunity to support the Caribia community. This by taking advantage of its historical wealth -it was the first settlement in the area and had a tremendous ethnic diversity. They also voiced their enthusiasm toward turning their village into a touristic destination. For some time now, its inhabitants began to train as technicians in sustainable tourism. This is so they can provide for their families and lead the progress of their communities.Īmong our cocoa farmers, we have 70 workers from Caribia, a small village that is part of the subregion of Urabá, Antioquia.

They are full of passion and eager to master the cultivation of cocoa. Our cocoa forest in Necoclí employs people from nearby towns. We integrate art and teamwork to take the first step -of many we have given so far- to generate development in one of the cocoa regions where we work.

This is the story of our first volunteering. Chocolate and social impact are a reality. Also, we learned that art and culture are detonators of development. In The Chocolate Dream we know that to fulfil a dream, we need the union of many.
