Last April, when I participated in a Habitat Wake work team to Honduras, I met a 13-year old boy named Junior.  Though we spoke different languages, I learned a fair amount about Junior and enjoyed the time we spent together on the work site.  Junior was the unofficial leader of all the kids who would come to visit our work site after school.
