Background
In 1980, William Garcia Olano contacted Hogar para
el Niño Especial (The Special Child Home)
in Bogota, Colombia, an institution dedicated to the protection
and care of abandoned children afflicted with the Down Syndrome.
Its mission is managing the institute's insurance program,
occasionally helping with donation campaigns.
With time, it
spearheaded the institute's fund-raising campaigns, finally
becoming a member of the Board of Directors, up until the
mid 90s.
The idea of creating the Infantis Sanum Foundation
was born from contacts made with parents having economic difficulties
as a result of their children's illnesses and being unable
to secure the economic resources required for providing the
necessary medical attention, especially in cases requiring
traveling to the United States.
