Have you ever heard of the Chicos de la Calle (Children of the Street)?

0

I had heard they were somewhere in Boliviachildren living under the bridges in La Paz. But their situation always seemed far removed from me. I discovered there is a big difference between hearing about a social issue in a remote area of the world and personally working on it. On a recent trip to South America, SuperHealth¹ became involved with the Chicos de la Calle. Perhaps after directing an addiction treatment program and working hands-on with clients for so many years in Arizona, I was tired and wanted to keep my hands clean. After all, I am now an author, trainer, and lecturer. The work is inspiring and good. Yet, there we were in La Paz, meeting at Luz & Esperanza (Light and Hope), a rehabilitation facility that works with children wanting to get off the street. Sham Kaur, the inspirational Kundalini Yoga teacher there and I met a young man named Daniel. After he got off the streets nine years ago, he eventually became a university student and is now studying business administra
