Juan Rodrigo

by Spencer Warren


This man's name is Juan Rodrigo, and I was privileged to have met him on my trip to a charity called Hogar de Cristo. Mr. Rodrigo represents one of a large population of homeless people in Santiago and also throughout Chile. He talked to me about his life leading up to the current situation he is in now and how he lives day-to-day. He told me one thing that I know I will never forget: he said people who do not have homes do not fear starving as much as they fear the disengagement of people in their lives. I am so glad I got know this man who changed the way I thought and helped me experience the poor conditions that people have to live in every day.
