Quotes

• The Catholic Church is directly involved with the situation of the street children. Like the street children around the world, the street children of Maroua are also exposed to different hazards. Several years ago, we created a center in Maroua named "Belle Etoile," which takes in children seeking a refuge from the streets, for a longer or shorter period of time, respecting their full freedom. Our first concern is primarily that they find their families and to every possible extent, we prepare the children to return to live with their family.
