VOTE For EFREN PEÑAFLORIDA - CNN Heroes
Nov 10th, 2009 by ella

“Instead of being discouraged, I promised myself that I would pursue education. I will strive hard; I will do my best.”
For the past 12 years, Peñaflorida and his team of teen volunteers have taught basic reading and writing to children living on the streets. Their main tool: A pushcart classroom. Stocked with books, pens, tables and chairs, his Dynamic Teen Company recreates a school setting in unconventional locations such as the cemetery and municipal trash dump.
Peñaflorida knows firsthand the adversity faced by these children. Born into a poor family, he lived in a shanty near the city dump site. But he says he refused to allow his circumstances to define his future.
