  This is our operative house in the neighborhood of Barrio Triste where we assist 60 children between the ages of 3 and 12. These children live with their families in individualrooms (one per family) in a local lodge. The children live in very precarious conditions and are often mistreated and disregarded. They are surrounded by a hostile environment where drug dealing, prostitution, vagabondism, delinquency take place on a regular basis. Our work with this population is focused on providing the children with education and the advisory to reflect upon their lives and the commitment for a better future. Children are provided with two meals per day, are enrolled in the local school, and are provided with educational, psychological, and medical assistance. |
