Unlikely Angels
unlikely angels: stories of hope from the streets of Latin America

Unlikely Angels 

"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2)

Unlikely Angels charts a “typical” child’s journey from their home to the streets, before showing how at every stage, Toybox are battling to help and support as many of these children as possible.

Yet although the paths they tread may be typical, the children themselves are anything but. This small section of the website goes a little deeper behind the stunning photographs and heart-breaking quotes from the book.

Behind the Camera: Unlikely Angels photographer Becky Welford talks about her experience taking these photos, revealing some never before published photographs of children from the book.

In front of the Camera: One page of Unlikely Angels showed incredibly powerful before and after pictures of two girls, Ingrid and Dinora. Here we look back through Dinora’s life, and her incredible story of transformation.

"I like coming to the project; I like to see children playing. People help me do my homework and now I know all the numbers!" Fabiota, 8, Oruro
