Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
After his recent trip to Ecuador, Cross Catholic Outreach Projects Officer Fernando Marquez shared some of his photos with our staff. This adorable, little girl particularly captured my heart. She is a beneficiary of Chicos de la Calle (“Children of the Street”), a Cross Catholic-supported food program, which also provides vital academic tutoring, Catholic formation classes and an athletic program to help street children and child laborers escape their poverty.
