Deportee Becomes Activist

Check out this NY Times article: U.S. Deportee Brings Street Dance to Street Boys of Cambodia.  I’ve heard about people in this situation before–they think they are citizens, and when they commit felonies, they find out that they aren’t, and the U.S. deports them.

I’m not sure about my view on the deportation issue, but the story is inspiring.  It’s cool that this former street thug brought a useful skill with him and that he’s using it for the greater good in Cambodia.  He went from criminal to activist.  Check out the video feature.  It’s pretty amazing what he’s done for these kids.
