Our History

It All Began Here

  • Location: De Nicoló Fitt Family Home
    San Juan de Los Morros
    Guarico State - Venezuela
  • Date: Year 2000
  • Population: 5 homeless children

HOW IT BEGAN
Streets of Gold and Crystal Sea

It started in the year 2000, assisting a group of 5 children in a begging situation on Saturdays in the garage of the De Nicoló Fitt family's residence. This initiative began when these children knocked on their doors requesting "food or old clothes"...

... Upon opening their doors for the first time, these children continued to visit the residence, confident in receiving the much-needed help from this family. This same group took on the task of being spokespersons for other children and youth in the same situation children who slept in the Coleo Ring and the McDonald's in San Juan de los Morros, as both were very close to the De Nicoló Fitt family's residence. In less than six months, the group of children gathered in that garage increased to more than 50. It is noteworthy that these were children who stayed away from their homes due to situations of abuse, poverty, violence, among other issues. In response to the pressing need among the children, work began that went beyond financial assistance and food. The opportunity to contribute socially was opened, and the initial children who inspired the formation of the association in 2004 A.D. were assisted. The association was named "Streets of Gold and Crystal Sea for the Children of Guarico." Initially, they were provided with clothes and meals, guided in Christian education, and offered a space to share and discuss their realities. They were informally instructed, with the support of the Church Like Eagles in San Juan de los Morros, Guarico State, Venezuela. Motivated by the beautiful and fruitful work initiated and seeing the favorable response in the change of behavior in the children, in 2005, the attention was shifted to the facilities of the Christian Church Like Eagles. This move was prompted by the significant number of children who began attending the program, and more people were incorporated into the team.

Seeing this growth, the need arose to create different types of attention programs. The initial group of 50 children was reintegrated into the school system and their families through follow-up School for Parents and counseling. Once the children were back in school, the P.A.N. Program "Children's Feeding Program" had to be established because the children were not performing well academically and were experiencing hunger, sleepiness, and discouragement to the point of vomiting and fainting in schools. We began providing breakfast to 300 children in poverty daily in schools in San Juan de los Morros to prevent further dropouts. We maintained this program for 12 years. Witnessing the favorable results in our work, Streets of Gold and Crystal Sea called upon Christian Churches in the city of San Juan de los Morros and surrounding cities to join forces to attend to an even greater number of children. Thanks to God, today we attend to 3,000 children in 5 states of Venezuela with the same vision and mission: To educate children to become great men." Proverbs 22:6.

Currently, through various programs carried out throughout the year, including neighborhoods, churches, high schools, and schools, more than 3,000 children and adolescents receive attention through Streets of Gold and Crystal Sea.
