This is a book about an extraordinary man who helps the street children of Columbia. It is their story also. It is also about spiritual growth and self-improvement. As a ray of light penetrates the darkness, the message in this book, it will slowly illuminate us until the flame of love glows in our hearts. This love will not only touch us but it will also mark our actions with that breakthrough fire that surges when we serve humanity. The testimony of children, those who have lived indescribable stages of darkness, shadows, pain, rejection, sadness, depression due to drug addiction, abandonment, and violence, but have nevertheless been able to rise towards the world of light.

In 1991 he received the World Peace and Justice prize together with Mother Therese from Calcutta granted by the Christian Brothers University. He was the creator and promoter of the Fundacion Ninos de los Andes headquartered in Bogota, Colombia where hundreds of children have found a home and new opportunities. Inscribed By the Author.
