HUGS community is Recognizing, Reaching, and Reclaiming the rejected children in dehumanizing circumstances
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice"
Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT
you DO NOT exist! you ARE NOT a human being! you DO NOT matter!
Human Rejection destroys the lives of children.
The Problem:
Because of their condition of:
Disabilities
Orphanhood and Extreme Poverty
Millions of children are left behind in rejection and dehumanizing circumstances.
Human Rejection causes trauma with severe emotional and physical effects, destroying a whole life ahead of a child, and making him a dysfunctional adult.
Disabilities: 1.1 million children have it*
Orphanhood: 14,800 children face it*
Extreme Poverty: 6.7 million children live in it*
In Guatemala, half of the inhabitants are underage. The youngest people in Latin America. The population is 16.9 million inhabitants.

I SEE you and HEAR you! I VALUE and RESPECT you! I EMBRACE you!
Human Connection (HUGS) restores Human Dignity.
The Solution:
The proper Intervention* helps the children overcome trauma and pain and develop their God-given infinite potential to succeed in life.
With an effective Strategy** and attention, the Children can develop properly and grow healthy with:
Child Care: for affection needs.
Child Unique Care: for special needs.
Child Nurture: for essential needs.
With three values, we can love and serve them in the name of Jesus:
RECOGNIZING the image of God in each one.
REACHING the children despite their condition.
RECLAIMING them from dehumanizing circumstances.
Restoring the children’s Human Dignity from the hurts and relational trauma of the hard circumstances.
Embracing the children in a Safe Family environment to develop their infinite human potential to thrive. (Small Community)
