Mágica Navidad 4 · December 15 · Comuna 13
Small gestures, shared across Medellín.
Alborada connects people who want to help with local social initiatives. This December we are back with Mágica Navidad: a day to play, learn and celebrate with children from Medellín.
Every peso becomes a toy, a meal or a book. Every t-shirt funds the same event.
Mágica Navidad 4
December 15 · Comuna 13, Medellín
A day to play: creative activities, learning, food and a Christmas gift for every child. This is our first Vaki, and every contribution counts.
Your contribution becomes
- Materials for games and creative activities
- Food and drinks for the children
- A Christmas gift for each child
- Storybooks to keep
- Logistics for a safe, welcoming space
Four Decembers, over 1,000 children
Mágica Navidad started before Alborada existed, and it has grown every year, from one comuna to the next.
2022
Bello Oriente · Comuna 3
The spark that started it all. Before Alborada existed, the dream already did.

The first official edition. Alborada was taking its first steps.
2024
IE Pablo Neruda · Comuna 2
More children, more partners, more impact. The tradition kept growing.

We left the school and reached the neighborhood. Our biggest edition yet.
