It's the capital of the Valle del Cauca department, and the most populous city in southwest Colombia with 2,319,655 residents. As the only major Colombian city with access to the Pacific Coast, Cali is the main urban and economic center in southwest Colombia, and has one of the fastest-growing economies in the country. 

Hosting Situation (Board and Lodging)

Living at the project: Volunteers may either have an own room with a private bathroom or have a private compartment in the girls’ dormitory and share the bathroom with the girls in the foundation. There is WiFi available in the project’s public areas. Volunteers eat with the children; while they may have a diet less varied at times, there are generally no problems for people with dietary restrictions (eg. vegetarian, vegan, allergies). Access to a kitchen may be agreed upon with the project. Due to the rural location power and water outages can occur. The project is located in the hills outside of Cali, just below Cristo Rey, a popular tourist destination. A bus to the city center is reachable in walking distance.
