...determines readiness to be motivated. Why did the community garbage cleanup work in Barrio Miraflores and fail in another barrio in the center of town? And why did the Brooks complete projects when other Volunteers could not? One answer may lie in the person of the director of the Casa del Obrero, a dynamic and dedicated man.
