Benposta
Benposta (from the Galician words ''ben'' and ''posta'', meaning "well set"), known in Spanish as "Ciudad de los Muchachos" (City of Youth), is a communal charitable organization for troubled youth. Benpostas are places for abandoned, marginalized youth around the world. Each Benposta has its own parliament and administrative and political positions like mayor, counselor, etc.
==History==
The concept, and first city, of Benposta was founded by Father Jesús Silva in 1956.〔(Benposta - Colombia: Nación de Muchachos )〕 The first City of Benposta was founded outside of Ourense, Galicia, Spain.〔(Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival '97 )〕
Benposta was designed as a peaceful and safe home for homeless children, particularly those affected by poverty or violence.〔(UNICEF - Colombia - Territory of Peace )〕 Commonly known as "The City of Youth", Benposta cities originally had no adult residents, other than Father Silva. The city was governed and maintained completely by the children.
Since its inception, Benposta cities have opened around the world. Some Benposta cities now include adults as residents, many of whom have grown up in Benposta. The adults in Benposta have identical rights to the children, they are not superior, and do not function as guardians.〔(Benposta Colombia )〕
