| Sumario: | Unclear about his future career path, Steve Reifenberg found himself in the early 1980's working at a small orphanage in a poor neighborhood in Santiago, Chile, where a determined single woman was trying to create a stable home for a dozen or so children who had been abandoned or abused.
