This is the story of My Neighbors and Me, a neighborhood children's group in Belize City, San Marino.
My Neighbors and Me was started by two Belizean brothers, Herbert (18) and Ashman (13) Wiltshire to provide a safe space and developmental opportunities for disadvantaged children throughout their community.
"We had a choice: following others into drugs and crimes, turning to sex as a way of making money or trying to make a difference," says Herbert.
As the winner of the San Marino-UNICEF Award, My Neighbours and Me has received $20,000 to help carry on their work.
