Brother to the Rescue

Biamby nominated Penelas for a "Heroes" award that he received this past month from Community United, a coalition of social service and neighborhood organizations that work with the City of Miami Police Department. "I would say he's not just a talker, he's a doer," Biamby observes. "He's out there working every Saturday in our [Little Haiti] cleanup, and he has shown concern not only for the residents, but he's an advocate for the weak. This has made him a lot of friends."
