CNN.com/Heroes 2009:
Efren Penaflorida Jr. gives Filipino Youth an alternative to gang membership through education. His Dynamic Teen Company's 10,000 members have taught basic reading and writing to 1,500 kids living in the slums.
Efren's story is an inspiration to every youth, an epitome of a dedicated servant who unselfishly devote his time for the good of all those Cavite kids whose future is likely to be doomed with violence, slavery and ignorance. I just want to say that you ignited me back to serve in the community in my own little ways. You got my VOTE!!
