Stories of Kindness from Around the World

One life at a time


--by brad2, posted May 27, 2015
There had been a problem with gangs within my community, so I took it upon my self to do something about it. 

I started by talking and listening to them. Then we moved on to getting them into school, job-training and employment. Some were still kids - but kids with kids. Now many of them can provide for their own families. 

Now I do follow ups with them, reintroducing them to our (Native American/Canadian) Cree culture. 

They too have value. Along with others we have painted over all the graffiti and some of the gang leaders are now helping me in turning the tide, as far as gangs are concerned, talking to the others, getting them out of the gang life. 

One life at at time.
