"For sure the world can be changed. I hav witnessed that. During one of the activities, a child asked to speak, and I thought he had a question, but what he said next would become my biggest motivation as a volunteer. ‘‘Last friday my dad wanted ir a tomar con sus amigos. My mom did not agree and the started fighting. I told them that they could solve the problem by using the CaPAZ model. They listened to me, stopped arguing and decided to take me to eat an ice-cream". The smile of the child while telling his story was recorded in my memory forever."
