That is why our mission is more important today than ever before, helping hundreds of people to find much more than just assistance or comfort: they find a family, a listening ear and a home.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At our soup kitchens in Calarc\u00e1 (Colombia) and Bachaquero (Venezuela), we not only provide a meal, but also offer education and training to all highly vulnerable children. Furthermore, this support also extends to the work we carry out in our care homes, where we support elderly women through care, companionship and a constant presence, which, in turn, reminds them that they are still deeply valued.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, carrying out this mission is not the sole responsibility of our congregation; it also depends on the generosity of people who selflessly offer their donations, enabling our charism to continue reaching those places where it is most needed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A journey that needs everyone\u2019s support<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t already done so, we\u2019d like to invite you to become part of the mission too.

Every bit of help counts, and every gesture of solidarity makes a difference! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our founder, Saint Genoveva Torres, taught us that love always finds a way to make itself felt; that is why, today, we want to continue answering that call, walking alongside people who share this dream of continuing to build a world where no one feels alone or in need. <\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are living in difficult times in which wars, poverty and inequality have come to the fore in global society.
