I am so glad to see that these kids found their purpose and hopes for life. It's the greatest gift anyone could have. Thank you Teresa Goine! -

my heart is deeply touched to see these "tough" kids smiling broadly, because Teresa saw them as God's kids who were in danger of being lost, and has given them practical down-to-earth hope. And LOVE. Knowing someone really cares enough to help and support is everything. I see from a couple of letters there are others who want to reach out too. Abundant good to you all! -

I helped compile and publish a book titled, Insights From Inside. It is a collection of letters from inmates written to young people about the bad decisions they made. Please check it out and give some thought to ways we can get it in the hands of more young people. Insights From Inside is a proactive tool for reaching out in this reactive world.www.insightsfrominside.com -

Teresa's willingness to shed the traditional, militaristic/punitive model for one that builds these young men and women up. Provide an opportunity for them to experience another way of life that is more intrinsically satisfying. -

I'm inspired by the hope that each person conveys as they talk about their past and their present lives.
The food looks really good. -

Every one has potential to live a human life. But every child needs someone to tell him/her, you are amazing, you have potential, you can do it. Just one such person in a child's life can make an amazing Impact not only on that individual but so many others who will touch that life. -
Cindy
Brilliant concept, absolutely beautiful open hearts all around. Kudos to ALL of you who are part of this. -

What inspired me? Seeing those happy faces on young people who have slipped through the chasms of our culture. Seeing a totally creative and loving solution to their troubled lives. I hope this idea can be caught up and flourish in other cities across this country. Our youth deserve to have conscious loving adults who will mentor them into adulthood. This program promises to do just that! Bravo! -

Awhhh where do I begin?
This is a wonderful example of heart led project which has touched the hearts of all the young people involved and in doing so has given them back their dignity, self respect and passion for life. Truly inspiring.
I live in Scotland, but do visit the USA sometimes. I will be sure to look you up and come visit your wonderful restaurant if I'm in the SF area. I LOVE that city. .
Lots of love & luck to you all and thanks so much for making and sharing this video. -
