My opinion and what I see in this article as well, is that you need to find people who have lived though or understand what it is like to grow up in a disadvantaged community and have made it. In my community, people who are well off and middle class donate what they can to provide a better future because they know the investment will pay off for the community in the future.
== The importance of knowing the community and the real problem ==
In my opinion, this example is an excellent one to understand the "design thinking" approach.
As a student and future engineer, I wish someday I could be able to really work to shorten the educational gap between advantaged and disadvantaged communities; until that, I am grateful to read these articles and learn how leaders and fellow as Jahannie Torres, created and developed this kind of projects. I want to highlight the idea of starting a change in your community because you can relate to it, and also try to approach businesses that can relate to the project too. This makes things easier to create.
