The 37-year-old first daughter spent Wednesday morning in Usme, a suburb in the south of Bogota, Colombia


Ivanka Trump bonded with a young boy in a wheelchair while visiting Venezuelan migrants in Colombia on Wednesday after touring a female-owned strawberry farm earlier in the day.

As part of an official U.S. delegation, the 37-year-old first daughter joined U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) head Mark Green at the migrant camp in La Parada to announce the Trump administration is offering $120 million in additional aid in response to Venezuela's refugee crisis.

Photos from the visit show a beaming Ivanka squatting down on the ground to greet Venezuelan migrant Andry Rodriguez, who was in a wheelchair. The corners of her eyes crinkled with joy as she chatted with the child, who seemed just as happy to meet her at the camp, which is near the city of Cucuta.

The White House senior adviser was also seen warmly embracing Andry's mother Wendy Quevedo in front of a mural of image of Venezuelan military and political leader Simon Bolivar, who is known as 'El Liberator.'

Ivanka commemorated her visit by posing for pictures while holding a Venezuelan flag and signing a mural at the migrant shelter. The first daughter also spoke with a delegation representing Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido.

The State Department announced on Wednesday that the U.S. will give an additional $120 million in humanitarian assistance to help Latin America cope with the arrival of millions of Venezuelan migrants fleeing a crushing economic crisis. The assistance brings the the U.S. contribution to the crisis to more than $376 million.

More than four million Venezuelans have fled their home country in recent years amid political upheaval and widespread shortages of food and medicine.

Colombia has received more Venezuelan migrants than any other country - it is now home to more than 1.4 million. Hundreds of thousands of others reside in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and other countries.

The country has repeatedly lamented the lack of funding to help migrants, saying other humanitarian crises in Syria, South Sudan and Myanmar have received many times more in donations from the international community.

Unlike its neighbors, Colombia has not imposed stringent immigration requirements, instead encouraging migrants who entered the country informally to register with authorities so they can access social services.

The government of Colombia frequently spars with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro over security and the migration crisis.

The two countries do not maintain diplomatic relations and Colombia, along with the U.S., numbers among the more than 50 countries that do not recognize Maduro as Venezuela's president, instead backing opposition leader Juan Guaido.

Ivanka looked happy to meet with the Venezuelan migrants at the camp, though she has yet to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border to see the migrant children who are living in camps after being separated from their parents.

Her father is known for his controversial anti-immigration policies, and just a week ago, The Trump administration ended a policy shielding certain immigrants from deportation if they're seeking life-saving medical treatment.

However, Ivanka seemed to be having the time of her life meeting with migrant families on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, she enjoyed a tour of a female-owned strawberry farm in Colombia before sharing a touching moment with some local children.

She left her much-loved high heels at home for the rural trip and instead rocked a pair of trendy white sneakers to complete the look.

The more casual footwear proved to be a wise choice given the grassy and muddy terrain Ivanka and her group - which included Colombia's first lady Maria Juliana Ruiz - were faced with during their trip to the farm.

In stark contrast to her low-key shoes, however, Ivanka's dress looked much more elevated. The beige mid-length garment featured a large sash at the waist, which helped to cinch the ensemble in and show off her slim figure, while the puffy short sleeves added an elegant touch.

Quick change: Ivanka wore the same dress she had on earlier in the day, but she changed her shoes, opting for espadrilles instead of sneakers to visit the shelter

Added touch: Ivanka carried a wicker basket purse that perfectly complemented her outfit

Fun and games: On Wednesday morning, Ivanka met with locals and their children in Usme, a suburb of Bogota, Colombia

Saying hello: The mother-of-three enjoyed a particularly touching moment with one little boy, who seemed fascinated by her

As a perfect complement to her rural surroundings, the dress also featured an orange floral print around the bottom third of the skirt.

Ivanka appeared to relish her opportunity to spend time outdoors, having attended a number of indoor events throughout the day on Tuesday, and was pictured laughing and giggling as she made her way around the farm with her guides.

The first daughter had a chance to meet with some of the local children and had a particularly touching moment with one young boy who was dressed in traditional attire. She crouched down to speak with him and at one point held out her finger towards him.

It is possible that the encounter reminded Ivanka of her own young children, Arabella, eight, Joseph, five, and Theodore, three, who are thought to be staying at home in Washington, D.C. with their father Jared Kushner.

But it wasn't just the sweet meeting with the youngster that left a big smile on Ivanka's face; she also had the chance to sample some of the local produce from the strawberry farm. She laughed happily as she munched on the fresh strawberries, which she ate out of a paper cup using a plastic fork.

Shy? Ivanka, who crouched down to say hello to the youngster, wore a $1,082 dress by Colombian born designer Silvia Tcherassi, which she paired with some cool white-and-gold sneakers

Ivanka's newly-trimmed bob hairstyle was swept back off her face, allowing her to show off her chunky gold hoop earrings, and natural makeup look.

The hairstyle was similar to the look she modeled on Tuesday night, when she made a glamorous appearance at the Casa de Narino palace in Bogota, where she was hosted by the Colombian President Ivan Duque and his wife Maria Ruiz.

She continued to support local designers, wearing a second ensemble by local designer Johanna Ortiz - this time a $1,995 sunflower-yellow satin dress. She donned a green number by the fashion star earlier in the day.

Ivanka also showed her appreciation for local artisans as she viewed several different handicrafts that were on display in the palace during her visit.

The flattering frock featured a paneled bodice and a wrap-style skirt shaped with an asymmetric ruffle. It was also covered in an elegant floral embroidery, and had dainty spaghetti straps to hold it up.

Photo moment! Plenty of local people took the chance to pose for pictures with Ivanka

Ivanka then paired the pretty design with some pale blue heels and added a slick of bold red lipstick to complete the glamorous look.

She stopped for a photo alongside President Duque, first lady Maria Ruiz, and her travel companion, Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, who has accompanied her to most of her official engagements throughout the trip thus far.

Ivanka is in Bogota as part of her South America tour, where she is promoting the Trump administration's Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative (W-GDP) that she helped her father launch in February.

The first daughter had debuted her freshly cut bob earlier this week as she boarded a flight to Bogota, but yesterday evening she kept her new locks off her shoulders in a simple up-do.

But while Ivanka looked every inch the style star on Tuesday evening, earlier in the day, the president's daughter fell prey to the pitfalls of fashion.

She suffered a brief style disaster that saw her trendy ensemble become the source of much entertainment as the first daughter posed for photos at an event in Colombia.

She stepped out in Bogota wearing another very stylish $1,650 dress by Johanna Ortiz - however, she may well have come to regret her choice of outfit when the weather took a rather blustery turn.

As Ivanka posed for photos with female police cadets at General Santander National Police Academy, her funky frock became more funny than fashion-forward when the wind blew, causing the puffy sleeves to fly up and almost completely obscured her face as she smiled for the cameras.

The style slip-up occurred as Ivanka posed for photos after addressing the female cadets at the police academy, where she was joined by Colombian Vice President Marta Lucia Ramirez, Colombia's Minister of National Defense Guillermo Botero, and Sullivan.

Ironically, not long before the entertaining image was snapped, Ivanka had proved herself to be a total pro in front of the cameras, as she flashed a wide grin for the photographers and even stuck up a peace sign while posing for pictures at the event celebrating female entrepreneurs in Colombia.

But while Ivanka looked like a complete natural, the deputy secretary of state appeared slightly more uncomfortable about posing for photographers.

The 59-year-old politician looked incredibly awkward as he posed at the event in Bogota alongside Ivanka and a group of businesswomen from the Academy of Women Entrepreneurs.

Ivanka made quite the style statement as she kicked off her South American tour with the event to celebrate local female entrepreneurs.

The mid-length green ensemble featured ties around the waist that showed off Ivanka's slim figure, while the statement sleeves and peplum detail added a fashion-forward edge to the look.

Colombia is the first stop on Ivanka's South American tour, which will also see her visiting Argentina, and Paraguay. She is there to promote the Trump administration's Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative (W-GDP) that she helped her father launch in February.

Her latest outing comes just hours after she first touched down in Bogota, looking stylish in a white blazer dress, having changed outfits during the flight from Washington, D.C.

Ivanka stepped off the plane on Monday night and was greeted by Vice President Ramírez, looking effortlessly elegant in a double breasted white suit dress that fell just above the knees.

Earlier Monday, Ivanka was seen boarding her plane at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland wearing a $170 navy blue midi dress with a bright red belt from J.Crew for a patriotic Labor Day look.

The frock featured a halter neckline that showed off her shoulders and came with a thick belt that cinched her waist. She topped off her look with matching red heels and hoop earrings that peeked out from underneath her new collar-length bob.

For the first few years of her father's presidency, Ivanka kept her hair long and wore it either straight or in loose waves.

She first cut her hair into a shoulder-length bob in late July, but it seems she likes the look so much that she chopped it a second time.

Ivanka's blonde locks haven't been this short since she grew out the chin-length bob she debuted nearly 15 years ago in 2005.

Her hair was a bit longer on Thursday, meaning she had it chopped at some point over the holiday weekend.

The White House senior adviser wore her new 'do side-parted and poker straight for her trip to South America on Monday.

She completed her look with smokey eye makeup, accentuated lashes, and a dusty rose lipstick that complemented her complexion.

Ivanka launched the W-GDP in early 2019 with the goal of empowering 50 million women in developing nations by 2025 by focusing on three areas: job training, financial assistance, and encouraging legal and regulatory changes.

During the trip, aides said the first daughter will advocate for laws and other changes that will allow women to access courts and other institutions, build credit, own, and inherit property, travel freely and work the same jobs as men.

Ivanka, who had a business selling clothing and accessories before joining her father's administration, said these laws, while not exhaustive, are 'foundational to building strong societies where women can freely participate in the economy.'

Owning property, either land or a home, is one avenue to financial independence for women, but 40 per cent of all countries limit women's property rights, according to research by the global development initiative.

Women cannot run a business in nearly two-thirds of the world's nations. In 17 countries, they are prohibited from traveling without permission and in 37 nations, they are not even allowed to apply for a passport. Many nations also limit women's occupations and work hours.

Advisers to the president's eldest daughter point to changes underway in Ivory Coast as an example of the kind of change that can help women in developing countries.

Ivanka promoted the development program in Ivory Coast and Ethiopia in April, though the marriage code change was under consideration before her visit. Under the revised code, husbands and wives will have equal say in managing household assets and making financial decisions.

In Paraguay, most women work in informal jobs where they are subject to vulnerable working conditions and no access to social security, according UN Women, a division of the United Nations dedicated to gender equality and women's empowerment.

Women in Paraguay also participate in the labor market at a significantly lower rate than men.
