The Association Compassion Asian Youth Second Chance program for teens and young men in the Philippines began to be adapted in France in 2014. Filipinos who complete the Second Chance program have traveled to France to testify about its impact. Idrisse, left, completed the program in France and traveled to the Philippines in 2019 to share his experience. To his right: a Filipino member of ACAY, and Laurent Thorigné, who heads up the France program after working for ACAY in the Philippines for more than a decade.
