This document discusses the history and founding of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart by Andre Coindre in 1817 to rescue boys and teach them honest trades. It established the first "Sanctuary" in Lyon with 9 looms and 24 boys. The Brothers originally helped young prisoners, orphans, unemployed teens and those who had lost faith. In 2006, the Brothers identified teenagers in Mozambique as being most in need of their help. They have since established the Mission Amatongas to support 400 students through donations from fast days and other fundraising activities.
