First a word about this awesome NGO. Its been started by my good friend Ajit Sivaram and some very cool folks. They work in juvenile remand homes and disadvantaged kids. Its a tough job and I've been a fan of their work. Today I saw a TED video that made me realize that their work is even more important. The video is sobering, but its a real sunbeam of hope as well. Here's why.
In this video lawyer David Dow asks a question: What happens before a murder? In looking for ways to reduce death penalty cases, he realized that a surprising number of death row inmates had similar biographies. In this talk he proposes a bold plan, one that prevents murders in the first place. In my view U&I is doing just that by loving one kid at a time.
