The Purple Movement kicked off yesterday at the event, and it looks like it will be the impetus for change here in Cayo.  It was amazing to see the youth - our future! - taking a stand, and having their voices heard.  Around 3000 people gathered around Columbus Park yesterday to 'Ignite the Peace.'  It was a peaceful and productive demonstration.
