Mercy and justice with love for all children, adolescents, and families.
Not a single boy or girl should live on the street, suffer, be violent, be hungry or cold.
In all our programs are present:
We want to be a channel for all people to approach God, and to know that they were made in the image and likeness of Him.
We deliver food in all our activities and support families with food for their regular meals.
Validate the family in its right dimension, seeking healthy relationships, providing tools and empowering them to be happy.
We pretend that each person can receive healing as well as freedom, from every sequel, harmful effect and pain of their life history and to return to the purpose of God.
Safety and protection for all our children and adolescents are essential, providing them with shelter from outside dangers and a safe indoor environment.
Capabilities, intelligence, talents, gifts, aptitudes can be developed for a dignified and fulfilling life.
With great joy, we share the Conclusion of Stage # 1 of the wall in our Shelter - Home Female.

"Open your mouth. Be right and fair in what you decide. Stand up for the rights of those who are suffering and in need."
"They asked us to do only one thing. We were to remember to help poor people. I think this is important also."
"...but happy is he who shows loving-favor to the poor."
"There is one who is free in giving, and yet he grows richer. And there is one who keeps what he should give, but he ends up needing more."

Prudence is a wise friend, so we invite you to take the appropriate precautions.
A respectful and sincere approach helps a lot. Do not make offers that you will not comply, or that may get confused.
Being a good Samaritan is possible, without assuming undue paternalistic roles or believing that we can solve the life of others. A good Samaritan is a person with mercy who offers to be a channel to help and manage help for another person.
There are some homeless kids who do not express the desire to leave the streets. It's required to work longer with them in the induction process.
