~ Edgar, 13 yrs. Youth Links member

“I volunteer with the children because my training as a leader made me realize it is us, every child and every youth, who will build the present for our people and country.”

  Women's Selh-Help Group for Spousal Vioence
"When I came to the program, I came scared, nervous, full of problems and here we learned to relax, now I am very contented, very thankful because they have made us value ourselves, improve our self-esteem, we have learned much."
~ Carmen

"Being in the group has helped me be more secure and able to make my choices and feel more confident in myself and also those around me, because I have always felt less than others…  I understand that I am not less than the others and that yes I am important."
