OYE scholar Sandra Fiallos talks about being characterized as an “at-risk” youth in Honduran society.
the OYE social media project: an open-source social media strategy for NGOs & educators
Over the next few months, we will be developing a social media campaign for a small, yet very capable NGO in Honduras; The Organization for Youth Empowerment. Through this blog, we will examine the effectiveness of a variety of social media components to increase the global awareness of a small local humanitarian non-profit, on a minimal budget.
We hope that you'll subscribe to the blog to follow the transparent process of promoting this extremely committed NGO in their efforts to better the lives of children in Honduras. If you are involved in social media, we think that you'll find these updates insightful. and we invite you to participate by contributing your own expertise and advice to this global effort.

Powerful and substantive video on such an important topic. So many youth are labeled “at-risk.” Finally we get to hear what one Honduran youth thinks about this label. Amazing work.
…… sin palabras quedo bien, gracias por compartir este video about me!
In working with ” high risk” youth in United States, I now refer to them as “at promise” youth. It’s more strength-based and reflects their resiliency!!! Thanks for sharing how it feels to overcome the pressures of growing up in yor country!
Sandra,
Felicidades en hablar de su situacion y la de jovenes en El Progreso. Siga adelante pare ser “el cambio” que necesita Honduras
