This organization has been set up by Alejandro Samper and is dedicated to meaningful, positive impact in our community. This initiative is his way of honoring the legacy of his mom, Glitza Maria Caicedo Samper (Bachita), dad, Daniel Samper, and sister, Glitza Daniela Samper (Nena)—who were tragically taken from us on April 26th, 2025, at the Lapu Lapu Festival, in Vancoueer Canada.Each had a deep passion for helping others. Through this foundation, their spirit of love, generosity, and service will continue to live on.
In loving memory
Nena (Glitza Daniela)
Endlessly curious and easily moved by the beauty in people and the world around her. She made new friends easily and welcomed so many people into her life—seeking and sharing wisdom, and building a sense of purpose and connection wherever she went. A fierce protector of my parents and I, she held our family together during our darkest days. My sister was an artist—she was constantly painting, drawing, making things. She expressed love through art too: she made her friends and family countless handmade gifts: cards with her ethereal illustrations, notes with handwritten messages, and many other artifacts to show us how much she cared. Her presence was always inviting, and she made us feel seen, valued, and loved.
Bachita (Glitza Maria)
My mother, was my hero, my emotional anchor, and my greatest supporter. She was known for her contagious joy and radiant smile. Even with limited means, she gave generously to friends and family in Colombia and Canada, donating her hard-earned money to anyone who needed it. She had a deep love for animals, treating them with the same tenderness and devotion she gave to the people in her life. She taught me to always choose the path of unconditional love, forgiveness, and respect, no matter the circumstances.
Daniel
My father, was my guide, my protector, and my best friend. He was brilliant and compassionate, honest and full of integrity. Everything he did was to improve the lives of our family—we were his world, and he was the glue that kept us together. His unwavering dedication to keep us united showed me how important it is to come together in difficult times. My father was passionate about learning new things in many different areas—science, politics, physics, mathematics, and computers—he had a strong interest in staying informed about the world around him. He instilled honesty, patience, and perseverance in me, showing me how to stay determined in achieving my goals, even when the odds are against me. My father was always there for me—I knew I could always rely on him, and still today, he continues to guide me.
