Agustin Michel is a 52-year-old Bolivian farmer with eight children. Like most people in his community, he never used to allow himself to dream about the future.

we all need love
It’s true. We do all need love. And sometimes this need, gone unfulfilled, leads us to search for it in places that leave our hearts feeling like the victim of a back-alley mugging. Sadly – there is boundless love waiting for each of us, if we’d only learn that we don’t have to earn it. [...]
