Armonia was founded by Saul
and Pilar Cruz in 1987 on a garbage dump at a slum in hte Jalalpa
ravine, a violent and very impoverished neighborhood in Mexico City.
"Walking alongside the poor became the purpose of our lives
out of obedience to Christ, compassion for the needy and feelings
of holy indignation when we see that beings like us, created in the
image of God, have to survive under humiliating conditions." (Saul
and Pilar Cruz, 2002)
