Suyusama Foundation, San Juan de Pasto, Colombia, which dates back to the Suyusama Program of the Society of Jesus in 2004, accompanies processes of participatory management of local and regional sustainability in the department of Nariño, and also provides advice in the Pacific areas of Telembí and Sanquianga. Suyusama is Quechua for "beautiful place."
The Program
The Suyusama Program began in the wake of the prolonged war in Colombia and in an effort to mitigate its effects on the poorest members of society. Coordinated by the Jesuit leadership, it began as a joint venture of various Jesuit works: the Center for Research and Popular Education (CINEP), Instituto Mayor Campesino (IMCA), the Peace Program, and the Jesuit Refugee Service, in collaboration with Javeriana University. to "dream" their future in 20 or 30 years and to plan for how to achieve it. Suyusama offers training and promotes dialogue among all those involved. In 2016 the program was active in 37 of the 64 municipalities in Nariño, where each of three subregions has its own coordinator, qualified professionals, and trainers. education, and cultural heritage. Along with Javeriana University which has made available 30 of its staff, assistance is also given by the University of Nariño, Mariana, and San Martín. Collaborative opportunities are offered to undergraduate and post-graduate students. Suyusama also networks with others in regional initiatives.
Suyusama works with political candidates for mayor or governor and with state officials in training and in help with participatory management and regional sustainability. Departmental and municipal plans are developed and diplomats who support the plans are endorsed by Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, various governments, and strategic allies. The UNDP is also involved, focusing "on guarantee and moderation of the process of dialogue in the community and the debates open to the public, and rebroadcast by the local media."
The process has allowed the participative construction of Life Plans in 23 localities of the city of Pasto and in 16 municipalities and 18 community councils in Nariño and Cauca departments. Additionally, ethno-development plans were devised for 36 community councils in the Telembi and Sanquianga areas.
Assessment 2016
Improvements were noted in the following areas: income-generating areas of coffee, cocoa, and rural tourism; well-being of the rural communities through further food security, community financing, and marketing of products through alternative channels; community governance of water and biodiversity; strengthening of diverse aspects of community organizations and their functionality; national and international assistance has been forthcoming to the regions.
Suyusama starts from the accumulated successful micro-regional experiences, asking about strategic requirements that would allow the expansion of these local achievements towards regional dimensions, in partnership with the communities and institutions present in the territory.

Amar y Servir Foundation was founded by the Jesuit<nowiki/>s in Colombia in 2005 to raise funds for the diverse Jesuit works in the country. It serves as a bridge between the alumni of Jesuit schools and others who wish to contribute to the betterment of the needier segments of Colombian society.
Program
Amar y Servir supports Jesuit educational works in Colombia, which include pre-school education, basic education, vocational media education, education for work, and technical and higher education especially in support of the most needy populations in the country. Other causes supported are development and peace programs in collaboration with Jesuit research centers, along with housing projects for the poor and community development, including medical care and dental care and harboring of displaced persons.
Headquarters of the Foundation are in Bogotá, with branch offices in Bucaramanga, Manizales, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Medellín, and Cali. The Foundation is also a part of the Jesuit network in Latin America, Center of Faith and Cultures, CINEP (Program for Peace), CIRE retreat center, Colegio Santa Luisa, Mariana Claver Congregation of Bucaramanga, Instituto Mayor Campesino, Instituto Mayor Campesino, Development and Peace Program of the Magdalena Medio (PDPMM), Servivienda, Susuyama, and Televida, "One child at a time" covers costs for children in need to attend Colegio San Bartolomé. Punto Ciorazon assists the early childhood educational efforts of Fe y Alegría.
Some means devised to facilitate giving to the Foundation are One Thousand Pesos a Day and the sale of Christmas cards along with children's Christmas carolling with a door-to-door appeal. Bottled water is also sold with the Foundation's logo; in 2014 proceeds went for CINEP's work of popular education in the Colombia-Venezuela border region. Other fund-raising efforts target a particular need. A campaign among Jesuit college alumni/ae would defray the cost of needy students to attend these colleges. Crown of Hope is the sale of condolence cards in remembrance of one's deceased relatives and comes to the aid of displaced persons. Let's Help Philippines was in response to the Jesuit Father General's request that this help be extended in the wake of typhoon Yolanda. Products with a Heart campaign was launched in conjunction with Alimentos el Roble SAS, which provides food services. A percentage of receipts supported the work of the Jesuit Refugee Service in the departments of Norte de Santander, Magdalena Medio Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, and Nariño.

Single Business Enterprise (SBE) is a legal remedy sought by creditors in order to receive pecuniary rewards from a borrower's affiliated entities. In recent years, this legal doctrine has been used by commercial mortgage-backed security servicers and trustees to counter traditionally legal asset protection arrangements between closely related business entities. What was originally sold as a "great feature" of SPE loans, i.e., "Non_recourse" for high-equity borrowers for the sole purpose of equity stripping of borrowers and investors with a built-in tax evasion Bankruptcy Protection of Creditors.
This practice is in violation of PSA and Mortgage Servicing Standards because,
1) All Securitizations require SPE (Single Purpose Entity) borrower and SBE litigation acknowledges the non-REMIC compliance of the loans which they claim to be a servicer of and are bound to protect as REMIC investors,
2) this legal remedy is only available to the holder of note and mortgage (the injured party) and not the Fee Servicers whose only intention is equity stripping disguised as mortgage fee collection,
3) Servicers are not supposed to have loan origination documents (only source of SBE information). However, REMIC trustees routinely pass the loan origination documents to loan Servicers in violation of Banking Privacy laws and regulations.
4) most states do not recognize SBE as a "Cause of Action". So these other parties could not have been sued by lenders in state courts. However, the Servicers and REMIC Trustees hire and pay Bankruptcy Trustees (buying Sword & Shield of Trustees in Bankruptcy courts) using a Joint Funding Agreement or DIP financing to strip targeted borrowers' affiliates equity with the court injunctions and freezing of the assets options available to these bankruptcy trustees, using the trust funds. These legal fees were routinely charged to senior Certificateholders plus interest so the Special Servicers and B-Piece investors always had plenty of incentives to take these equity stripping routes in bankruptcy courts.
Should the actual lender want to sue on the note, he should include the SBE parties as original defendants in mortgage default and foreclosure proceedings (state courts) and not as judgment debtors after garnering a judgment against the borrowers and their affiliates in Federal Bankruptcy Courts (See Pre-empting Workouts). That is why all Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS including RMBS and CMBS) mortgage loan purchase agreements have a "repurchase" provision to send the loans back to its originators.
Today, it appears that all the bad loan originators are getting away with their fraudulent acts of placing bad loans for the sole purpose of securitization (i.e. selling them to public), Because U.S. Government has agreed to buy all the bad securities (Toxic Assets) at taxpayers expense and the originators and securitization firms (Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia (First Union), Washington Mutual, etc.) have gone out of business. This has eliminated the "Repurchase" option for most "Sub-Prime" loans as only a few have survived the consolidation and have reorganized themselves and act as other players in MBS markets.
It is common that the REMIC Servicers and REMIC Trustees walk away with borrowers and investors assets in the bankruptcy courts as "Judgment Creditors" while they are neither Creditors nor should they have received any judgments against Borrowers, since they were never a "Holder of the Note and Mortgage", the Certificateholders of the Toxic bonds were the actual holders of the Note (loan). The investors, called the bondholders or certificafeholders who are the real injured party never have nor ever will received any compensation!
