A near-fatal shooting at the age of 16 changed the course of the life of Honduran youth Jessel Edgardo Recinos. Now 24, Jessel is running a youth club called Skate Brothers to steer those younger than him away from gangs and violence.
In this short film in USAID’s Extreme Possibilities series, watch how Jessel serves as a role model to the kids in his town, Cofradía, and hear his hopes to transform Honduras — one of the most violent countries in the world.
