Greatest Chilean

Hello, today i´m going to talk about Alberto Hurtado, or better known as Saint Alberto Hurtado or "Padre Hurtado", he was a jesuit priest, lawyer, social worker and writer. He was born on January 22, 1901 in Viña del mar, chile, but with his father´s death, he and the rest of his family had to move to Santiago.

Here in Santiago, after leaving the university, he started to work with the poorest people of the city, helping them with everything that they needed, and also he tried to get youngest and poor´s close to the church.
A few years later he founded the famous "hogar de cristo", a place where all the people who didn´t had money, food, bed, etc could went, even he with his green pickup truck traveled around differents areas of Santiago and picked up street people and he wore them at this place for take care of them.

I think that is a very proudly action that needs to be told, because today are very few people who has the courage and kindness of helping people in that way, concerned about unkonwn and poor people, even getting them into their car and taking them to a safe place, that´s so admirable.

if i had the chance to meet him, I would like to ask him what does he think about the big poorest that exist today here in Chile and the world. What does he think about all that money that is occupied with rich people and not with the people who really need it.
