"Mensajeros de la Paz" was founded in Spain in 1962 by Father Angel García, with the aim of giving some dignity to marginalised minors. A member of the International Child Protection Agency, Mensajeros de la Paz´s main activity is to shelter youngsters who, due to serious family problems or other kinds of problem, live away from home, in the different "functional homes" which the association has. More than 16,000 children have passed through the association, and there are currently some 1,100 youngsters sheltered in more than 200 homes spread all over Spain. In the "Functional Homes" the activity carried on is as close as possible to that of a "natural family", and all the homes make use of the communities means to integrate the sheltered youngsters. "Mensajeros de la Paz" have currently got homes on other countries, such as Peru or Argentina.
