Leadership Training with Societal Outcasts
EPIC program grant - 2002 to present
Leonardo Luna Arbocco is working in the city of La Merced, Department of Junin, with the most troubled sector of Peruvian society. Most of the youth with whom he works use drugs and alcohol and may be gang members. Some of the adults were formerly part of the Peruvian terrorist group, The Shining Path, which ravaged Peruvian society for years. Others may be involved with narcotrafficking or have marriages and lives that are being destroyed by alcohol and infidelity. Mr. Luna has had success with many of these individuals suffering from very significant problems through evangelism and by helping them to overcome the psychological traumas they have experienced in their lives. For example, one typical youth with whom Leonardo worked had alcohol and drug problems. This young man is now studying in the university and working with other troubled youth. Anther man was a policeman who had his own narcotrafficking gang. This ex-policeman is now working honestly.
