Abstract

War as an extreme situation threatens especially the most vulnerable, that is, children and adolescents. Therefore, in the face of real danger after the genocide in Rwanda, adequate care and support activities were taken. The program for children in Africa called “Adoption of Heart” was one of them. The evangelical principle of love was the main motive for joining the program. Love of neighbor is a response to the specific needs of others. Charity in Christian terms means giving something of oneself, forgoing one’s own needs for other people as well as being ready to sacrifice oneself for others.
