<DIV>> I finally had the chance to briefly talk to Helena. The</DIV>
<DIV>> changes that the process unleashed are still unstoppable. Most of the
boys<BR>> have a much more responsible attitude towards their job. The use of
drugs<BR>> have not stopped, but they tend to do it out of their work.
Lateness,<BR>> laziness, disrespect are almost gone. It seems from what I
heard that the<BR>> OST had a profound impact in the kids approach to their
life.<BR>> Helena did not go into much detail, but apparently there were
many<BR>> structural changes in the schools, and in the relationship with the
<BR>> working<BR>> kids: much more respect from their bosses, and much
better working <BR>> results.<BR>> Many corrupt engineers were fired (with
excuses -downsizing- since<BR>> corruption was not opened to the
public).<BR>> An official controlling entity recently made an evaluation:
Helena <BR>> received<BR>> a 5, the highest score for her job; the woman
who wanted to stop the OST<BR>> received a 2.<BR>> So, in fact, I think
the OST was very useful! I have more news, I will let<BR>> you know
immediately.<BR>> Helena sends you all her best regards.<BR>><BR>> I
hope I will be able to see you soon. Take care.<BR>><BR>>
Andres<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> <BR></DIV>
