Visión La Fundación Semillero Darién-Funsedarién se consolidará a nivel nacional como una organización comprometida con el derecho a la educación técnica, tecnológica y superior para jóvenes bachilleres rurales sin oportunidades a lo largo y ancho del país y la vinculación laboral en condicione dignas. Será una organización referente, caracterizada por el esfuerzo, el trabajo, la unión, el compromiso, la solidaridad, la gratitud, la cooperación, la inclusión social, el trabajo voluntario, sentido de pertenencia y el cuidado del medio ambiente, además  por su gran capacidad de trabajar por el progreso y desarrollo de las comunidades campesinas y poblaciones afectadas por la violencia,  contribuyendo así con el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de los colombianos y un desarrollo humano sostenible, teniendo como base la participación activa de las comunidades. Objeto  La Fundación se constituye con el objeto principal de generar y obtener recursos que garanticen la educación superior a jóvenes pertenecientes a comunidades campesinas de escasos recursos económicos, grupos étnicos, poblaciones afectadas por la violencia y el abandono del estado y en general poblaciones en condiciones de vulnerabilidad, diseñando, apoyando y ejecutando  proyectos claros y viables para el desarrollo social, económico, ambiental y cultural de la población, aportando capital humano para trabajar por el bienestar de la gente. Quienes somos La Fundación Semillero Darién tiene sus raíces en el proyecto Semillero Darien, el cual nació en el año 2010 gracias a iniciativas que buscaban brindar a jóvenes bachilleres de escasos recursos del Corregimiento de Gilgal Chocó la oportunidad de continuar estudios que les abrieran puertas al mercado laboral. Gracias a los logros alcanzados y a la aceptación e impacto positivo en los jóvenes beneficiados, se convierte legalmente en Fundación Semillero Darien en el año 2011, fecha para cual se había extendido a jóvenes de otras localidades y de otros departamentos de Colombia. Historia En enero de 2010 inicia un proyecto fundamentado en las buenas voluntades llamado Semillero Darién el cual para el mes de octubre de 2011, teniendo en cuenta  los buenos logros alcanzados, el impacto positivo en los jóvenes beneficiados y la buena aceptación de mas jóvenes que se querían beneficiar, se convierte legalmente en Fundación. Las buenas voluntades inician con la participación activa del Profesor  Guillermo León Castañeda del Instituto Comunitario Regional Alcides Fernández –ICRAF, quien propone la idea de crear el proyecto, la Escuela Taller de Bogotá, la cual ofrece inicialmente 10 becas en las áreas de Gastronomía, Ebanistería y Construcción, la Participación de Peter Kulchyski, un profesor Canadiense de la universidad de Manitoba, que ofrece un recurso económico para ayudar a pagar  el arrendamiento de una casa donde se alojarían los estudiantes,  e Iván Darío Camaño Varguil,  quien se responsabiliza     de la Coordinación, acompañamiento y seguimiento  del proyecto en Bogotá. El proyecto nace ante la preocupación por la difícil situación que enfrentan los jóvenes bachilleres del norte del chocó, que en su gran mayoría no tienen la oportunidad de seguir estudiando después del bachillerato, bien sea porque no hay universidades o institutos de educación superior o porque sus familias no tienen los medios económicos para enviarlos a estudiar a otras ciudades. Esa difícil situación lleva a que muchas veces las jóvenes una vez terminado sus estudios de bachillerato piensen en formar hogar , teniendo hijos a muy temprana edad  y muchas veces terminan separadas y con la responsabilidad de los hijos, lo cual es otro agravante que impide capacitarse en estudios superiores, y los hombres deben buscar trabajo en los pocos empleos que se generan, usualmente a precios muy bajos y muchas veces sin ninguna prestación social, además   se encuentran en  zonas de conflicto armado y tráfico de drogas, lo que los hace aún más vulnerables. Funsedarién  reconoce que esta situación no es exclusiva para los jóvenes del norte del chocó, sino que en otras regiones del País hay muchos bachilleres rurales  que ven truncadas sus posibilidades de seguir estudiando, bien sea por los altos costos de formación y/o  el difícil acceso a ella, es por ello que la fundación se esfuerza por identificar estos jóvenes a lo largo y ancho del país para ofrecerles oportunidades asequibles a las posibilidades de sus familias.    La Fundación  ha venido trabajando con jóvenes campesinos, jóvenes  bachilleres agropecuarios,  jóvenes egresados de Hogares Juveniles Campesinos, jóvenes desplazados, jóvenes pertenecientes a comunidades afrocolombianas, y el otro paso a seguir muy pronto es la vinculación de jóvenes pertenecientes a comunidades indígenas. La  Fundación ha tenido estudiantes en diferentes Instituciones de Educación  técnica y superior como lo son la Escuela Taller de Bogotá, donde nos ofrecen becas 100% en las áreas de Gastronomía, Ebanistería y Construcción con énfasis en restauración, también en el Incap, la Universidad Republicana y en la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, en estas últimas no contamos con becas, pero es nuestro anhelo  iniciar  convenios con éstas y otras instituciones de Educación técnica y superior. En la actualidad tenemos un grupo de 10 jóvenes  graduados en las áreas de Gastronomía, Ebanistería y construcción, los cuales en su totalidad se encuentran vinculados laboralmente y otros  jóvenes que se encuentran  adelantando sus estudios, estos últimos en su totalidad viven en la Fundación Semillero Darién.  Estos  jóvenes vienen en su gran mayoría del municipio de Unguía incluida la cabecera municipal y sus  corregimientos y veredas. Se espera que la mayoría de  estos jóvenes una vez terminado su proceso de formación, vuelvan a su región, apliquen lo aprendido y sean motores de desarrollo y progreso en sus comunidades. Sabemos que estos jóvenes son muy buenos elementos que si tienen la oportunidad de seguir estudiando serán personas de bien para un país en necesidades. Funsedarién  ha beneficiado a la fecha  cerca de cuarenta (40) jóvenes de cuatro (4) departamentos y egresados de más de 10 instituciones educativas. En la actualidad, nuestros jóvenes viven en una casa en arrendamiento  en el sur de Bogotá, donde se les ofrece, alimentación, camas y cobijas, internet, telefonía local ilimitada, televisión por cable, biblioteca, espacios de estudios, lavadora, entre otros. En este lugar    practican a diario la convivencia, la autonomía y el apoyo mutuo, lo cual les ayuda a su crecimiento personal. Esperamos que personas y empresas se vinculen de buena voluntad con este  proyecto. Cualquier apoyo será usado de la mejor manera, y será una gran inversión en pro de nuestros jóvenes menos favorecidos, del desarrollo de nuestras comunidades y del País en general.
