“People often think that if destitution and marginalization are never resolved, it is by the nature and difficulty of the topic itself. Nothing is further from the truth. The world of the marginalized, especially for children and adolescents, is not residual, it’s a hard world, full of life, possibilities, penalties, certainly, but also unimaginable joy. If it is full of unresolved conflicts, it is because it is at the mercy of multiple interests and contempt, ignorance, or fear, who do not consider ourselves marginalized. The least we can do in service of something, you understand.” – José Ortega y Gasset Mahatma Gandhi

“The real social progress is not to increase the requirements, but reduce them voluntarily, but this requires humility.”
