Sinaloa Voices Resound
from sender to sender, i guess they've all forgotten.
from sender to sender, we don't sing the same songs.
we'll look back at all of this, in the shadow of a
building, with silence saying all we ever could. to
feel new soil under our feet and see where we traveled
(from point a to b) and all the places in between.
sometimes we don't sing the same songs. this may never
reach your ears. you never saw the intent. you never
could see the end. years of listening from sender to
sender, i guess they've all forgotten. do you see
beyond your own space?
explanation
in high school i was fortunate enough to stumble upon a
wonderful youth organization called the andover youth
services (ays). the program gave, and continues to
give, a voice to the youth of our town. furthermore, it
continues to inspire me today. beginning with one
person and a small group of high school students in
1994, it has now grown to a full time staff of 5 who
serve roughly 2000 people ranging from elementary
school to high school. all the while, they have
continued to strive in bringing a youth center to the
town. yet, there have been many people who have refused
to give support to ays and the goals they strive for,
to empower the youth. each person who works at ays has
amazing passion to create, serve and contribute
constantly. it seems few and far between that you find
a group of people who continually work so hard, with a
perpetual desire and drive to better themselves and the
community, both large and small. these are truly
inspiring people. this is for bill, glenn, suzie, tony
and sobhan.
