Getting a second chance through Rugby in Venezuela
Crime is a significant problem in Venezuela. Politicians and experts have yet to find a solution. So when a company became the victim of gang violence, the owner took matters into his own hands. He offered jobs to gang members and created a Rugby league for prisoners to train, play and learn about values such as teamwork and respect.
Elaine Reyes talks to Venezuelan correspondent Stephen Gibbs about this inspiring story that has changed hundreds of lives.
