Final Group Presentations

Last week was exciting. The one thing I liked the most is when we presented our projects to all the groups and our families. It was very interesting to see what all the groups accomplished throughout their neighborhood. I was very happy with my group presentation and all the positive feedback that we got. Everyone loved our videos on abuse : sexual,verbal,& physical. I learned a lot about all the 3 different neighborhoods. I learned about the resources and how their topic is very important in their community. The videos that each group made was very funny and helpful. After everything we all received our certificates for completing the program. I must admit I was very happy to receive my certificate.

Last week at the Cara Program

Last week my team and I went to the Cara Program and learned how things work there while participating with the group in the morning welcome. The program is for adults ages from age 21-65 to help them find and hold jobs. After visiting the Cara Program, we went out to eat lunch and talked about our day so far. Later that night Amara and Dave went back to the Gary Comer Youth Center and presented our project on abuse. Dave even got a chance to pass out our pamphlets and talked to many people about our project!
