Primer aniversario de los Madrugadores
GUATEMALA, Edgar Leonel Tórtola • It is incredible how time passes so fast; it seems that the week no longer has 7 days, nor the day 24 hours, so without realizing it we have reached our first year of Madrugadores in Guatemala.

Asado Casa Madre de Tuparenda
PARAGUAY, Ani Souberlich • For a long time, we have wished that more people in Paraguay would get to know our house and come into contact with the young people who participate in our program and tell us about their daily lives.

Madrugada bajo la lluvia, Ciudad de Guatemala
GUATEMALA, Edgar Tortola • We did not give up. This Saturday, July 26, the chapel where we are always allowed to pray the Rosary could not be used because a retreat was being held there, so we Madrugadores decided to hold the meeting in a public square known as Plaza Juan Pablo II, in Guatemala City. — However, we didn’t expect it to start raining during the night… It poured with rain in the early morning, and when we started, it continued to rain, although the rain was already lighter.Read More
