Junior was born and raised in the community where the first project was founded. He is from a low income family and he went to work at 11 years of age. After a disillusioning stint in politics as an adult, he became a community leader and took over as Director for the program solving problems of youth at-risk. In just 5 years his work has become a reference for an entire community.
