Armonia was founded
by Saul and Pilar Cruz in 1987 on a garbage dump at a slum in hte
Jalalpa ravine, a violent and very impoverished neighborhood in Mexico
City.
"Walking alongside the poor became the purpose of our
lives out of obedience to Christ, compassion for the needy and
feelings of holy indignation when we see that beings like us, created
in the image of God, have to survive under humiliating conditions."
(Saul and Pilar Cruz, 2002)
