Pope Francis has assured that “a network of affection is thus created that extends beyond the circumstances of the moment, transcending differences in age, nationality, culture and social status.” The work of Do not be afraid shows “that being ‘volunteer’ is much more than providing a service or making a financial contribution,” he stated.
Finally, the Pontiff encouraged us to continue praying “for the end of violence and conflicts in the world, because of which, unfortunately, too many children continue to suffer, be exploited and die, and let us strongly echo this the words of Saint Paul VI: ‘Never again war!’ Never more!”.
In its website, Do not be afraid indicates that it currently hosts in the City of Youth Nazareth to nearly 400 children, from orphanages in the nine dioceses of the country, to whom it offers food, accommodation, school education, health care and spiritual growth.”
