One of the powerful things I learned in the USA which is not part of the culture on Brazil is youth voluntarism. I have seen how students here are motivated to learn and to change not only their lives but other people's lives. They suddenly become empowered and have a longterm goal ahead of them. I believe voluntarism can change Brazil's youth for the better. It can make students understand that they are in control of their lives, that they  are worthy. I want to see this happen! That's my why!
