One on One with Violet Leos, Community Services Director of the Girl Scouts of Central Texas

Latinos are blessed to have many actively engaged citizens, young and old, quietly and persistently working to better our community. Each Monday, I will interview a person who have had a positive impact on the community and have not been recognized for their work. These Latino/a figures have deep involvement in their town and whose leadership and service have had a beneficial impact on town life. They also think outside the box in their approach to solving social problems, work hard to make a difference, inspire others and do not call attention to themselves except as a way to garner attention for their causes. Beyond the sirens, the flicker of the flame, the roar of the engine and hiss of the mic, Latino/a unsung heroes/heroines are real people with hopes and dreams. Some are even volunteers who don't get a penny that willing give up their social lives to lend a helping hand to those in need. They are faceless men and women who are there to help and expect no recognition.
