"...on the last day I learned that our work in the community has inspired some of the young teenage guys to write a play about the problems in their barrio - drugs, alcohol, stealing and discuss solutions to these problems. We inspired them to make changes with in their own lives and neighborhood. It was so exciting to hear and see."
