My sister who works in social work asked me to read this doc called Reclaimging the American Dream and comment. Okay I agree it is a bad title. However they are trying to help low-income kids get higher education. The more eyes that see it the better. So check it out and give some feed back.

This week is Arts Week at Regent where the students showcase their art for the community. It seems like it was arts week at Latino USA as well. On Friday, Feb. 23 Latino USA highlighted a Mexican/American and a Salvadorian/American artists. The Salvadorian artist Osorio was inspired to return to paper mache art because he saw a documentary on the massacre of more than 100 Salvadorian children. He has dedicated his time to make piñatas.

What an incredible way to participate in life. I was frustrated a few days ago after I saw Quinceañera the movie because I did not want a film like that just to be entertainment. It makes me very proud to see a person take a positive step after seeing a documentary that does not let one ignore the despair of the world. I love the creativity and the life giving action. I hope that I can find a similar way.
