"We wanted to do a Mapping project on all the youth services ... as we researched more into it, we noticed that the map was going to be very big and since we didn't have that much funding for this project we tried to keep it more focused on one community and in one city ... so then we decided to do the 'immigrant' youth services that were available, but then again it was still very broad and the map was still going to be big. So we said why don't we just start with our own community? We had a couple of contacts with some of the Latin youth service providers, so we asked them what they thought about our idea and they said it was great because not that many youth know about the services here in Vancouver. So this is basically when we knew we should do the project." "Well, we are Latin youth ... we didn't really know of the services that were provided for youth, so we asked some of our friends if they knew of any services, and most of them said no ... so I guess this encouraged us to do it more because it wasn't just us that was noticing this problem"
