When someone wants to help they seek for a cause. My cause has been domestic violence prevention. A novel, a website, conferences and one on one contact with the community. In Puerto Rico there's not to much of a volunteering culture. We are known more for monetary help (fundrasing) that actually working in the cause. That is why I created MVTPR based on my experiences as a volunteer on dating violence prevention. At 14 I went through a violent relationship and felt alone. I volunteered in a newspaper and had to write something about it and that's how I learned about my own situation.
