Helping kids with art and education

If you’re going to write a book on “Screw Business as Usual”, your business has got to put your money where your mouth is.

Virgin Mobile Chile is doing just that by supporting young people who live under bridges throughout Santiago. It was great to meet the kids and also the wonderful woman Pia Salas who heads up Abrazarte, which tries to get young people education and guidance and helps get them to stand on their own two feet.

Hats off to everybody at Virgin Mobile Chile and Abrazarte, a good example of treating kids with drug problems as a health issue, not a criminal issue. If only everybody in the world can do this.

And in Spanish:

Si vas a escribir un libro sobre “Screw Business as Usual”, tu organización debe de tener resultados.

Virgin Mobile Chile estan demostrando eso mismo en en terminos de apoyar a los jóvenes que viven bajo los puentes de Santiago. Fue genial conocer a los niños y la mujer maravillosa Pia Salas a cargo de Abrazarte, lo cuál trata de conseguir educación y la orientación a personas jóvenes para ayudar conseguir que ellos se puedan respaldarse por ellos mismos.

Felicitaciónes a todos en Virgin Mobile Chile y Abrazarte por el buen ejemplo de tratar a niños como un asunto de salud, no un asunto delictivo con la drogadicción. Si todo el mundo entero puedera ser lo mismo, este mundo sera mejor.
