My Church is the Street

About 8000 children live in the streets of Medellín. They take narcotic drugs, cheap cocaine, heroin, or stimulants, and - if they cannot afford anything else - they sniff glue, a yellow substance called "Sacol". The children are often not older than five when they take drugs for the first time. By the time they reach the age of twelve, most of them have come into conflict with the law. 70 of these children have better prospects for the future since they have found a home in Father Gabriels therapeutic centre for drug addicts. They will stay there for an average nine months.
