Battling Gun Crime Armed With Just my Story
In 2013, Outlook Inspirations nominee Caron Asgarali was shot in the face. Her chin and jaw were shattered. Her attackers were thieves who were on the run from the police and they wanted her car. As a result of her injuries she spent her life savings on reconstructive surgery and battled with post traumatic stress disorder. She also had to give up her career as a teacher. Caron now shares her story with students around Trinidad to raise awareness of the impact of gun violence.
