Ilona Kviesīte
has been helping and caring for so-called street children for ten years. She explains that the term "street children" does not mean that these children have no homes. Rather, they have difficult family relationships, their parents or the children themselves have fallen victim to addictions. The Arken Centre is a place where they can spend time in warmth, play with their peers, get a hot meal and maybe change themselves.
Most often, children find the centre themselves, and those who are already active bring others with them. Ilona Kviesīte knows how to tell positive stories of children who have overcome addictions, built relationships and found jobs. She does not only take care of the children at the centre. She is also a guardian herself for a teenager addicted to drugs. When asked how she is able to share her love with so many, she says that she once heard the words "If God loves so many, why can't we?” These words helped her to walk this path and to share her love with many.
