FOUNDING PRINCIPLE The SANAR Foundation has been from its beginning a work of God, this was specifically expressed in the Act of Constitution of the Foundation, which expresses the will of the founders and consists of a brief declaration signed by 71 people on February 27th, 1985, which reads as follows: Assured of Gods presence and patronage and under the generous reception of those who by our signature here commit ourselves, we, as members of the human family and as Christians, assume the joint responsibility of structuring a non-profit organization whose main purpose will be to help children with cancer and also their families. We will persevere with this purpose until hopefully no child is left without the best option that medicine, according to progress, can offer for the treatment and cure of this disease. We are convinced that God and Colombian society will support us in this endeavor and endorse with our signature the birth of SANAR." This fact is documented in the book "Science has a limit, Love doesnt", published on December 2006 on the occasion of the 20 years of the Foundation, ( a copy of some of the pages of this book are attached, including the prologue written by Father Javier De Nicolo, friend of the Foundation, who rests in eternal life). The President of SANAR, Luis Guillermo Angel Correa has been persistent maintaining this foundational aspect throughout the years. He is a man of faith and experienced firsthand the drama of cancer in his family, always finding God at each stage of the process as he expresses in a valuable testimony that we attach to this document. In the most difficult moments, SANAR has always found a guiding light and has witnessed miracles that have allowed it to continue its work despite the difficulties. Loyal to the will of our founders, an annual day of re-induction has been established in which all the employees of the Foundation participate and the Christian origins of SANAR are remembered, ending the day with a Eucharist to give thanks for the achievements and commend the Lord the resolutions for the New Year and the intentions of our benefactors, collaborators, volunteers and donors.
