Zaragoza is the town in which COAR began
- and still thrives . . . From the beginning in 1980 the community rallied around Fr. Ken and their parish of Nuestra Señora del Pilar. Before the children could move to our current location (up the hill) the townsfolk took orphans into their homes, sometimes nursing them along with their own newborns, supplied food from their small means, clothes and toys, and most of all: love and security. The mayor, parish pastor, and all the businesses in town interact with COAR constantly. Together they make a strong village . . . and we all know it takes a village to raise a child.
