Back in 1994 I founded Horizontes “projects with the community”, a non-profit NGO that began its work with a vulnerable community of Bogotá. Horizontes consolidated itself as a leading organization in Colombia focused on projects oriented to social development, communities and the environment. She began as Project leader, then Project director and by 2000 she became the Director, a position that she held until she moved with her family to Australia in 2015.

Carolina arrived in Australia with a wealth of knowledge in education and development. For 25 years, she has nurtured projects for the most vulnerable in Bogota and now in Australia. As a mother, leader and entrepreneur, Carolina believes that loving, caring, and working together will lead us to achieve a better world for all. In 2019, Carolina transferred the skills and knowledge she had developed from her Colombian project, ‘Horizontes’, and developed the Australian version, ‘Horizons’ – projects with the community. Her work has one underlying value (irrespective of continent): care for others with love.
