“Some kids in the projects have to deal with bad things every morning they wake up, and it would be best to change that. Because a lot of kids have talent, but they’re afraid to become what they could become because they live in the projects…You’re just scared to live here. You don’t know when your life will be taken away.” -Seventh-grade PhotoVoice participant “Algunos niños que viven en viviendas de bajos recursos tienen que lidiar con cosas malas todas las mañanas al despertar, seria mejor si eso cambiara. Porque muchos niños tienen talento, pero tienen miedo a lo que puedan llegar a convertirse porque viven en viviendas de bajos recursos… existe el miedo por vivir aquí. No sabes cuando te quitaran la vida” -Participante de FotoVoz del séptimo grado

“The bottle in the water shows the significance of alcohol in people’s everyday life. The running stream represents the constant struggle of peer pressure to drink. Alcohol is at the center of many young people’s life and the pressure it entails.” - Patrick, Senior (Youth PhotoVoice Project) “ La botella (en el agua) representa el significado del alcohol en la vida diaria de las personas. El arroyo representa la lucha constante contra la presión de tomar. El alcohol esta en el centro de la vida de muchos jóvenes y la presión que involucra ” - Patrick, Senior (Youth PhotoVoice Project)
