One youth grateful for the work of the sisters involved in the Color Movement is 16-year-old Jefferson Rafael Carabantes. He spends a few hours a week seeing friends and playing soccer at a center run by the Guardian Angel sisters in Apopa, another community not far from San Salvador also challenged by a gang presence. "They treat us beautifully," he said of the sisters. "I'm really, really grateful." (Chris Herlinger)
