Full talk coming soon to www.ConsciousnessTalks.org
Using the principals of love and transcendence, Father Mejia describes how he has rescued over 100,000 children off the streets of Columbia, restoring their rights and dignity, and offering them a much brighter future.
BIO: Father Gabriel Mejia, a man filled with love—and the unbounded energy and creativity to change lives—opened the first "Center de Hogares Claret" in 1984 in Medellín, Colombia. His center was a sanctuary for children to come for a good meal and a safe place to sleep. Then, a few years later, during a visit to the United States, Father Mejia learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. He knew immediately that he had found a valuable tool to help his children overcome the traumatic stress they suffered from living on the streets, and to enable them to live fuller lives. As the power of the drug cartels waned, and word of his successful program for helping abandoned children grew, the number of orphan shelters under Father Mejia's care increased. Now, in 2011, his Fundacion Hogares Claret has 52 centers for abandoned children and young offenders spread across Colombia and throughout Latin America. Through the years Father Mejia's centers have helped tens of thousands of children to find a way to live productive, healthy and happy lives.
