Ministry Director David Goshorn
In the past we have seen anywhere between 5 and 75 youth in the drop-in center in a single afternoon.  It has been said that there are 3500 homeless teens in Portland.   Our doors have been open to both pimps and prostitutes, drug pushers and drug abusers, murderers and victims.  Few have trust in other people, few have experienced unconditional love, and few have the desire to change.  Statistics indicate, and experience proves that if a positive role model does not intervene, these teens will be likely to abuse thier own children, frequent our jails, die of drug related problems or sexually transmitted diseases, or commit suicide.

Programme Director Maricarmen Raudales
A private organization created in November 1994 to promote, protect and defend the rights of children as set forth in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Its main intervention mechanism is the International Tribunal for Children's Rights whose mandate is to hear specific international cases of children rights violations that are brought to its attention. It renders judgment on these cases and makes recommendations for corrective action to the Bureau. The Bureau, in turn, prepares an Annual Report with a global analysis and recommendations on that year's topic which it presents to the international community each year on November 20th, the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention. This process entails coordination of an efficient international intervention by judges, lawyers, investigators, human rights experts, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

AVSI is an italian NGO working in different countries since 1972. Since 1994 AVSI has been involved in emergency programmes in Rwanda. The activities of the programmes have been focus on the children traumatized by post trauma stress disorders due by the war. After three years UNICEF has requested to plan a country wide programme on street children because the magnitude of this problem is becoming more and more relavant. This is because the recent return of about 1,000,000 Rwanda refugees from Zaire and Tanzania. In AVSI we have started recently a working group on CEDC (Children in especially difficult circumstances) in order to study the contents for all the interventions towards children. (AVSI is working in this field also in Romania, Bosnia, Albania, Brasil, Uganda, Southern Sudan, Kenia, Lebanon, etc.)
