In order to continue this project of love and to maintain it always lively and effective the foundation has to create the Samaritan community. This community consists of young women that want to dedicate their lives to poor and disabled children.

Facing the human tragedies of these unfavoured children and the tormented mothers who are worried about the future of their children – the Samaritan does not close her eyes, she does not pass by, but she stops… she gives herself!

The Samaritan community is secular in the first concern, but it sees its guidance principle in the evangelic message and holds the Christian love as an “absolute” point of reference.

“I thought that money would be the most beautiful present which one could make; but then I understood that there is something in the world that is much more worth: it is the donation of your time, of your attention, and of your friendship, because so you do not give only something of your possession, but you give YOURSELF!” (Candia)

The community lives because of two large passions: the love to God and the love to your neighbour.

For the Samaritan is love the fruit of faith and helping others is the fruit of love.

The value of life depends on somebody’s ability to donate his life to a certain reason and dedicate it to something that lasts longer than life itself.

“Lord, do you want my hands, in order to dedicate this day helping the poor and ill people?

LORD, today I give you my hands.

Lord, do you want my feet, in order to dedicate this day visiting those who need a friend?

LORD, today I give you my feet.

Lord, do you want my voice, in order to dedicate this day those who need words of love?

LORD, today I give you my voice.

Lord, do you want my heart, in order to love everybody only because he or she is humanbeing.

LORD, today I give you my heart."

(Mother Teresa from Calcutta)

It is not that important what you give and do, but it is important how much love you put into something.
