We had all gone into the markets of the city __22__ the young people could experience its energy. But what we actually saw simply 　23　 us all –the rundown houses, the children in rags, the people begging for money… Walking home,　 24　 　under a low bridge, we came across　 25　 　families of homeless people seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on　 26　 　he night.

We all　 36　 　that we had seen things that should never be allowed to happen.　 37　 　, what could we do about it? Together, we began to brainstorm ways we could help to ease the　 38　 　we had seen. As I encouraged group members to focus on　 39　 　they could do, a sense of determination　 40　 　the previous sadness. Instead of despair, these young people began to feel a call to action.
