Just wanted to share a feel good story
last night we went to a wedding... nothing remarkable, except when we first met this kid he was one step away from the gangs. No, I am not kidding.

We worked with him, he modelled behavior, we used role playing games and miniature games. Yesterday he married, after finishing Engineering school.

And that is where raising a child takes the whole village, We were so dang proud, No, he was not our son, but we did play a critical role at a critical time in his life.

So yes, you can change a life, for the better.

Nadin
