    Your work is inspiring. As a youth worker, there is simply too much work and society at times feels so rotten. I live in one of the most developed nations in the world and work in Cornwall one of the poorest areas in Europe. We spend millions on roads but can't spend a penny on supporting young people and poverty.
    I love your work and how you inspire. Start with one and keep going patiently. Don't stop and eventually you'll end up with a result. One man can make a change.... but if you had a team with you then more change can happen. Thanks
