There are many things that young people can do on the weekends, and not everything we read about it in the press is positive and inspiring. But there are committed young people who dedicate their time to others and learn from those who suffer the most that you have to know how to live in the moment and experience pain to become the best you can be. Leticia is a volunteer coordinator for a Madrid-based foundation that cares for children with rare diseases, and is an activist in favor of youth volunteering as a form of commitment, learning and happiness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
