Interview with Barlet Jaji


In the previous post, Nancy wrote about the SE101 pilot project at St. Aloysius Gonzaga School and the work of Barlet Jaji, the school's director of post-graduate training. I found his words in this video to be both inspirational and inspired. The students in the program have faced such deep personal tragedies, and yet, with the help of Barlet and SE101, they are learning to make a better future for themselves and for their community.

As I tucked my own children into bed tonight, Barlet's words echoed through my mind. I am thankful that there are people like Barlet who are willing to develop and empower those that are so vulnerable, fulfilling the dreams of the parents that these students have lost.
