Have you ever heard of the “Chicos de la Calle?” (“Children of the Street”)
I have, but it was always far removed. Somewhere in Bolivia…I think children living under the bridges in La Paz.
There is a difference between hearing about a social issue in a remote area of the world and actually working with it.
On a recent trip to South America, SuperHealth became involved with the “Chicos de la Calle.”
Perhaps after directing an addiction treatment program and working hands-on with clients for so many years in Arizona, I was tired and wanted to keep my hands clean. After all, I am now an author, trainer, lecturer and the work is inspiring and good. I suppose the experience that I had actually seeing the children, is similar to the difference between intellectually discussing death with someone and having a serious conversation about death with your doctor after being fatally diagnosed.
So there we were in La Paz meeting at Luz & Esperanza (Light and Hope); a rehabilitation facility that works with children wanting to get out of the street (Chicos de la Calle). Sham Kaur, the inspirational Kundalini Yoga teacher and I met a young man named Daniel. After he got off the streets 9 years ago, he eventually became a university student and is now studying business administration. (second to left)

Nutritional Tips
Sautéed Almonds for Women
Great during the female menses cycle and also the first forty days after giving birth. Sautéed almonds are a highly energizing treat. Heat a small amount of almond oil, butter or ghee* over medium flame. Add 6 to 8 whole unpeeled almonds and stir continuously until they begin to pop. Remove from heat and add honey to taste.
