Two college students talk about how they teach forgiveness - what it is and steps to getting there - to incarcerated youth. They discuss the different forms of forgiveness including re-forgiveness, something we all need to practice. Ashley Monier is an 11-year veteran of the AirForce before she quit and started attending Souther Illinois University at Edwardsville (SIUE). Abigail Haloftis is a double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice at SIUE, and plans to work as a school psychologist. Both of them volunteer for several programs in the area, including Give 30, a program sponsored by the Regional Office of Education #41 in Madison County, IL where people dedicate 30 minutes each week to mentor an at-risk youth at a local school.
