Every human being needs a small, intimate group of people for support.  The biological family is the natural network of support, but in an environment where a strong sense of family doesn´t exists, we often hear: "I have noone to help me; I am alone in this world".

The outcome of this poverty is:

• Selfishness and loneliness
• Dysfunctional families (even when both parents are present, a family doesn´t function as such)
• Envy and violence
• Unhealthy social relationships
