OVERVIEW

Execution

By using the childhood pictures of the guerrillas we did the demobilization message very powerful for three main reasons.

1.In the pictures only they can recognized themselves so they didn’t take any risk. We give the message directly to the guerrilla.

2.We remind them that their moms are still waiting for them despite the years.

3.The campaign impacts all Colombia achieving that the people were motivated to forgiveness and support the guerrilla’s mothers. The campaign also helped people to be realized that everyone has a mother who suffer and wait for her son in Christmas.

Outcome

Many demobilized guerrillas recognized themselves in the photos and them who not, said that the direct messages touch them and motivate them to come back home with their mothers.

The Minister of Defense joined the campaign helping to paste photos and giving a message to support guerrilla’s mothers in order to invite their children to come back home with them.

And the most important result, 218 mothers welcomed their children home.
