Many times I asked myself why I was so anxious to host young people in my house and the answers were many. First of all, the absence of my children was a void difficult to fill; my house was very big, but bigger was the silence surrounding me. But the idea to leave my home did not please me either. My house was so full of memories, that everything in it had a story to tell.

It was then that I decided to invite students from other countries to live with me. Philippe Faber was the first to live in my house and I immediately adopted him as a son. Many others followed, young men and women from foreign countries or from Argentina, bringing their love, hope and dreams.

In this way, my family has grown and with each departure something is lost. Now my goal is to bring my houses back to life with many students, because the truth is that I find the most happiness in being the mother of all of these children.
