"This project has filled me with strength and motivation. It has propelled my personal and professional growth. As a publicist and graphic designer by profession, I have been able to apply my knowledge, sharing what I have learned in the community with my fellow inmates. I have taught them the importance of feeling useful, productive, and recognizing that we can develop our skills, talents, and abilities. Learning the value of teamwork serves as a foundation for performing dignified work, without having to resort to crime. It demonstrates that with effort and dedication, we can become better people every day. It has also helped me understand that this test, this imprisonment, is not forever. Freedom will come, and we must be prepared to value the opportunities that come our way. The majority of inmates grew up in marginalized neighborhoods, where opportunities are scarce and where drugs and homicides are part of daily life. That is why it is fundamental that they understand that it is possible to lead a straight life, regardless of where they come from or how they grew up. They can choose the right path, leave behind all the negativity, and channel their capabilities to sow fertile ground and build a better future for them and their families."

"To those who are interested, the Handmade Art project has been a great opportunity for me. Through this project, I have been able to cover my basic needs, such as toothpaste, soap, toilet paper, etc. In my situation, as a prisoner, it has helped me develop skills that I did not know I had. I have learned to do things that I never thought I could achieve, which is preparing me for a possible future, to grow as a person and avoid criminal behavior. Thank you very much."

"I cordial greeting from my part, Jonathan Sandoval Martínez. I write to thank you for acquiring one of my pieces of art. I want you to know that through craftsmanship, other inmates and their families also benefit, as this work helps cover the costs of visits. For me, it is an honor to be part of Handmade Art, as it improves my life and the lives of my family, at the same time contributing to society through art. Knowing that I can repay society motivates me, and being seen as a productive, dedicated, and responsible person with my duties fills me with pride. This is my greatest gratitude, as I have a daughter who suffers from leukemia, and through art, with the help of Handmade Art, I am covering medical expenses. My sincerest gratitude to Handmade Art."
