Turner Courts' Kids Make the Big Time, Part One

Beverly DeBase of the Dallas Morning News did a community story on the kid bloggers in Turner Courts. Check out the story here! There's also something bigger coming down the line shortly. I'll let you know when it comes out.

This is the same program I have been telling y'all about for months (note - each word is a separate link). Because of this great program, led by Dr. Janet Morrison, South Dallas youth are able to share their experiences through the use of technology. I am so proud of these kids, as well as Janet. You cannot help but to feel joy and hope when you walk through those doors. Little do they know that I often think about them and what will become of their neighborhood.

There are gems like this all over the city. Great work is being done, if we take a little time to see what's out there.

Links to both blogs can be found to the right in the Dallas Progress link section.
Here is Janet's take on the interview and her program.
