Origin of the home
A humble, educated man grateful to God is the inspiration and founder of Hogar Manos de Jesús. His name: Bienvenido Arias Navarro, a well-known figure in Cartago, popularly referred to as "Gallinita" (Little Hen). He earned his living by hauling sacks at the market, for which he said he was paid a peseta.
Bienvenido was a man of few words, but his simple phrases invited reflection: "One must be honest." "One must be grateful." "One must respect women."
