Ten former Salesian students established the Cristal Foundation to teach young people and students to use the freedom given to them by God without suffocating it and to prevent them from abusing freedom and falling into licentiousness. By applying good discipline, they aim to make young people and students responsible, good Christians, and good citizens.
