Hope

I found this article in the most recent issue of the Smithsonian magazine.

As an individual who obviously loves art and the power that is has to inspire boundless possibilities within an individual or community, and being someone who is passionate about studying all aspects of cross cultural issues, I found this article to be the very essence of Hope.

A young Guatemalan man who is living the realities of being involved with a American based gang, but has all the potential of being something different finds himself an escape through art...

Its a good read
