En la tarde del jueves participamos , junto a los alumnos del BC High school, del proyecto San luis.Divididos en tres grupos de seis personas cada uno recorrimos el parque cemtral de Boston,en donde conversamos y entregamos meriendas y ropa de abrigo a personas en situacion de calle.
Muchos de ellos conversaron con nosotros, y nos permitieron conocer una realidad muy diferente.Tambien,durante el transcurso de esta actividad,pudimos hablar con los estudiantes del BC High, sobre las visitas que realizan todos los jueves. Nos preguntamos entonces, ¿qué acciones superadoras podria realizar la comunidad con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida de estas personas?
Mission statement.
The St. Louis project focuses on increasing awareness and advocating respect for human dignity of the impoverished,homeless, and hungry.Students respond to the call in their hearts to adress issues of homelessness and hunger in the city of Boston by preparing simple meals and distributing them to the homeless in a groupof peers,centering their work on building friendships through conversation and prayer. St Louis of Toulouse, from where the program gets its name, was of royal means and would often take food from his castle and give it to the poor.When he was imprisoned as a result of a political conflict, he ascribed to the teachings of the Franciscan friars, and stood directly by the marginalized.
