LOS NIÑOS DE LA CALLE - SU HISTORIA En todo el mundo hay más de 30 millones de niños y niñas de la calle. Estos niños de la calle son los miembros más vulnerables y menos protegidos por nuestra sociedad. A una edad joven ellos salen de sus casas por varias razones: el abuso, el abandono, la muerte de un padre, el secuestro, la guerra, o un desastre natural. Los niños salen a la calle en busca de ayuda y un futuro. Como dice Juanes en su canción, Juan buscó amor, honor, y perdón - pero el mundo no lo ayudó. El mundo lo olvidó. En la calle estos niños caen víctimas de las drogas, el crimen, el abuso sexual, la violencia, y el hambre.
