The VISION.

The VISION is to give children and youngsters the possibility to develop them to become worthy members of the society with the firm base the love for their fellowman, a love what comes from God the Father. The maximum manifestation from this love we see in the work of salvation and liberation by Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The aim is not only to teach the spiritual values, but also to make it practical in their daily way of living. In this way, we want to support the construction of a worthy, solid and righteous community.

THE MISSION

The mission is: Taking care of those children who are living on the fringes of society.

Those are:

• the children who are living with their parents in jail
• street kids who are using drugs already at a very early age.
• abandoned children
• orphans
