HCHY List: Community and Developmental Assets - POVERTY

[WandaBoone at aol.com]

Hello Everyone,
 
I open emails from you with great enthusiasm. This is my first time  writing. 
I am Wanda Boone, Durham Together for Resilient Youth, Durham,  NC. - Listed 
on the Search Institute web site. We were fortunate to receive  a Kate B 
Reynolds grant to use Developmental Assets with youth and families and  we have a 
dream to use Developmental Assets within the community. 
 
In my dreams, everybody eats, everybody learns and everybody enjoys.  
Unfortunately we do not live in my dream world. There are those who are  not homeless 
who cannot afford healthy food. There are  those who do not have the 
information about health, finances or other  opportunities that lead to a more 
prosperous life and there are those who have  lost their sense of fun. We, through 
One Durham will bring these "life  essentials" to the community.
 
 
The part about us specifically starts at 3 minutes 21 seconds

The building that we are using PINNACLE located at 1703 E Geer St., as the  
hub "centered around food" is the historic Hartman's Steakhouse that  you saw 
in the video. We give special thanks to Mr Jack Markham for his  vision to use 
this property for the benefit of youth and the community. Denise  Cerreta, 
Founder of One World Everybody Eats, Salt Lake City, Utah, and staff  will make 
Durham there temporary home.

done" allowed)?
 
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!
