“Come and see” was Padre Wasson’s invitation. He knew, the person only had to visit one of the homes and be deeply touched. Obviously, it is not that easy or possible for everyone to travel to Latin America. In that case, he would carry some photos and show those. As a proverb says: a picture tells more than a thousand words.  

The second-best experience we can offer you is to watch the movie a Dutch film-maker gave to Padre Wasson as a gift. Padre Wasson loved that movie. 

 And here is a story that shows what we do to strengthen our family bond: When Padre Wasson passed away, we sent this movie on DVD to the donors in Germany. We received over 6000 replies of condolences with personal messages. What a testimony of community! We pasted them to ten albums, one for every children’s home and one remained at the office. That way the children can see how their family extends even all over Germany. Can you imagine the sense of security of an orphan when proven that hundreds of people care? Even beyond the death of the founder – their father. It was a very strong message in a very crucial moment. And it shows how you can mean a lot to children far away, just as you can to a person next to you.
