He won the Knights of Columbus Award for an article about World Youth Day in 2002. In this article, he

Gonzalez distinguishes the “root problem” from the “band-aid solution”, which convinces people to become pro-active. The article also contrasts the past homeless situation to the present and emphasizes the need for a change. Since the article was written very recently, the information is up to date and will provide many quotations and statistics that can be used in my speech. (Be specific here. Include date, quotes, and stats that you will use)
