HOW DID THEY GET HERE?

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for the orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself undefiled by the world."
-James 1:27

God’s injunction encourages us to care for those unable to care for themselves. It is a happy burden that has been placed before us and we are called to pick it up. Jovenes en Camino is the manifestation of this call to action. It has been brought to fruition by countless benefactors, workers, and volunteers who have given selflessly of their wealth, time, and abilities to provide a home for about 80 children.

Many of the children at Jovenes en Camino are orphans. Others have been rescued from situations of extreme abuse. Still others have been forced into the streets by parents who are unable or unwilling to provide for them. The vast majority of street children are boys.
