The Vision Kept Alive


A ragpicker family at work.
Slowly we became more involved with the ragpickers and were greatly encouraged in our vision when a family of ragpickers became Christians and committed members of our church. This family has now found alternative employment, and one child is receiving education. It is easier for people who already have established homes to achieve this transition than for the homeless. We now felt that it was an appropriate time to develop a strategic plan on how to identify the actual ragpickers and how to help them .
