Immediately after the "vacation Recreativos" I spent two days in another project, the "Hogar de la Luz". The "Hogar de la Luz" is a pure girl home, which is a little outside of Montebello. The Girls who live there are under 18 years old and every one of you is hidden in their own often very painful story about the reason for staying in the home .. Many of them have experienced violence and abuse must make in their lives and live there because they have no parents or because they have no money to feed them! I immediately noticed that the work in the home a very different work than at school. The home presents for the children like a family and you can build a much more personal rapport with children. These two days have brought me very much to move. When I saw the bedroom of the girl, I was speechless .. In the home live about 70-80 girls. The bedrooms can be counted on one hand, so sleep in a room on the bed next to bed and 20 girls live. Each of you has even a small cupboard in the size of a bedside table and not more .. There are 2 small residence halls, a small area to play and the dining room. It was terrible for me to see that so many children grow up in a heap, without the slightest to have privacy, have. If you then a 14 year-old girl in the eye looks and says that it has in 12 years no parents because the mother died and his father was killed by the FARC when one has another girl legs covered in scars and all morning waiting for the visit of their mother comes with no one if another girl starved almost in pajamas alone outside stands and performs with traumatized view self-talk can be felt deep in the heart of a strong jump-off to take the true injustice of the world and the desire of these girls just in the arm, to show them that you have them like they are something special, no matter who and how they are ... !
These two days I have been very thought-and I realized for the first time really that I was able to experience the absolutely most wonderful childhood in the world. I had enough to eat and drink, I had toys, we were on vacation every summer, there were presents for Christmas, birthday and Easter, I received support and assistance in all my needs and problems, I never force need to know ... and the most important thing: I had parents who loved me and still do now .. Stopped
