I’m working with an amazing reading and writing sanctuary in Bushwick Brooklyn and we’ve started an Indiegogo campaign! Will you join us?Brilliant, loving, and creative volunteers offer Bushwick kids homework help, and reading and writing instruction. Importantly, the kids are listened to, heard. Every day they write, and read their work out loud to an attnetive audience of co-writers of all ages. Sacred listening makes a safe and joyful space for kids to learn and grow, and they do!
In addition, the children go to amazing theater, art, dance, music, and museum events in New York, meeting artists, scientists, scholars and writers of every stripe. Usually only very privileged children get such opportunites, but we want to keep all this free for the children of Bushwick Brooklyn, who come from inner city neighborhoods where the public schools are woefully overcrowded and educational advantages are not available if you do not have money.
You can go to this site and donate as little as $10.00 or more if you can, and get lovely perks in gratitude. We also need friendly comments posted on the site, to keep our visibility high! (Takes two seconds.) We are trying to raise enough to keep the doors open and also to admit the many kids on the waiting list. The need in the neighborhood is great, and everybody works for free at the school. Everybody who donates becomes part of something amazing – you are keeping the doors to a top-notch educational program open in a tough neighborhood usually lacking such resources. You are helping to create a thriving community of learning. This is our future!
