"The reason I want to return to my town once I finish [studying at the College] is that I've lived in poverty. I've felt hunger. I've cried. I was sick and nobody helped me...there weren't hospitals, there wasn't medicine. It's critical the state in which some populations live. And the young people who come from these populations come here [to Carmen Pampa] with the desire to change." -UAC-CP student
