A group of homeless kids in Mexico City are trying to open their own bakery, but can’t get a business permit from the city. They’ve got donated equipment, donated cash for the flour and so on, and a local baker who is willing to teach them the trade, but no permit. (They even have the support of the President of Mexico.) Fortunately, they kids aren’t giving up:

“This bakery will open,” says Osvaldo Castillo, one of the Liberty kids who hopes to leave the corner clown acts and windshield washing behind. “We hit some barriers, but sooner or later it’s going to open.”
