"Life Pieces to Masterpieces" is an organization that helps young boys in D.C.'s Ward 7 express themselves through art. It's a place where they can share their fears--about growing up in a ward whose youth make up 23 percent of all youth in D.C.'s juvenile detention system. It's a place where the boys can share their hopes--about becoming pro athletes or doctors or more.
