So-called “nonprofits” are getting rich by keeping people on the street and addicted to drugs.

In Ethiopia, many vulnerable youth turn to huffing glue, the cheapest and most accessible way to escape harsh realities. But this quick high comes at a devastating cost. It kills brain cells, impairs memory and learning, and severely affects judgment and decision-making.

Guardian Punta Hermosa Leader Herbert Fiedler visited local schools for outreach and received over 300 youth applications to join the program. With 20 youth currently sponsored, that’s 20 young lives transformed through access to a community that cares and the power of jiu jitsu.

And when someone believes in them, the cycle is broken… and something great is born.

My buddy Andrew just launched his new AI game today. Pretty incredible how fans are going to be involved in these TV shoes and mysteries now solving their own crimes and creating their own characters
