A Prisoner from Flanders Freed Every Year if He Walks El Cam

[ElCaminoDoc]

I am searching high and low for information about this.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Has anyone heard this before?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! Bill,

Of course, I have heard about this program and others from other countries.
I have met quite a few parties walking the caminos under this program.
I had the chance of having dinner with someone responsible for it when I was hospitalero in Santander on the Camino del Norte.
I think I could find an email address for you if you're interested.

Cheers,
Jean-Marc

Best,

Bill

The Alba (Oikoten) program is to rehabilitate juvenile deliquents - not really criminals. They have been in operation since the early 1980's and have had a good success rate over the years.

Thanks so much Sil! That is very helpful!

I had wondered if anyone out there has been in touch with someone from the French organization Seuil- that also works with troubled youth and guides on their walk to Santiago, with the hope that it will aide in getting them on the right path.

With Gratitude,
Bill

Bill,

I imagine you're familiar with their web site.

Just in case... http://www.assoseuil.org/

Good luck in your endeavour,

Yes I am, thanks so much Jean-Marc! I am looking to see if anyone has had any personal contact with the organization.

Best,
Bill
