"I was able to, while in Honduras, deliver about 2,000 children's books to students there," Daggett says.

Wahl also says he hopes his efforts will inspire action from other Harvard students--and that, with the growth of YHAHV and other gun control groups across the nation, what Wahl calls the current "alienation and apathy" toward the issues of handgun violence will change.

Gaughan says he believes the birth of birth of organizations like DGP and YHAHV since the Columbine shootings is evidence that people are finally working to solve the problems of gun violence.

He says Harvard's groups hope to be just one part of a national solution.

In the materials DGP sends to schools and media groups regarding their project, Gaughan says, "The most

significant line reads 'We, the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. team are excited to be part of the solution.'"
