get ready, get set

The Impact program is divided into two parts: a team project (2/3rds of time) and an individual project (remaining 1/3rd). Last Tuesday we heard presentations from 4 distinct neighborhoods in the different "burrows" of NY; Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens. From the neighborhood directors presentations, we were able to decide which community we were most passionate about.

I ended up choosing a neighborhood in Staten Island as my first choice because it seemed like the neighborhood where we could make the biggest impact. The Port Richmond community, in Staten Island has so many assets and charm, but there has not yet been a effort to really promote those assets to neighboring communities.

The trip over to Staten Island was absolutely breathtaking. We went early in the morning while the air was still cool. Fun fact: the ferry ride was free, so tons of tourists use it as an opportunity to get an amazing view of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty. After they cross the water, they run to the ferry back to Manhattan!

Then on Saturday, I went with one of my good classmates to the Museum of Modern Art and purchased this wickedly awesome lens from the giftshop!

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
