Only a Child was created by Arlington Street Church member George Leger in 1994 to serve the needs of homeless youth living on the crime- and poverty-ridden streets of Guatemala City.
Only a Child now operates a group home offering a surrogate family to former street kids, as well as a carpentry shop that is staffed and managed by the young people in the program. Only a Child also offers a variety of educational opportunities to give participants every possible chance to lead productive and meaningful lives.
Only A Child Announces Author Visit, March 29, 2009
Only A Child is excited to announce that on Sunday, March 29th, author Francisco Goldman will be at Arlington Street Church to join us in a discussion of his best-selling book, The Art of Political Murder: Who Killed the Bishop?. The New York Times named the book one of one hundred Notable Books of 2007.
The book gives an accurate feel for the violence-laden community in which Only A Child operates, and reinforces the urgency to help homeless youth move off the streets and into stable environments. George Leger, the founder of Only A Child urges all to read this compelling book. Please help to spread the word about this opportunity to speak with Mr. Goldman about human rights in Central America.
