wesley from project think different

Seeing all of the group’s projects in progress was wonderful; there was so much talent upon the stage and a lot passion from the teachers of the programs. I could definitely tell each group worked very hard and though I did not see the youth in their beginning phases I could tell that each groups’ performance represented a point of progression. It was also great to see positive representation from the youth communities of Boston, overall it was a great event and I can’t wait to see the footage that I taped.

Hi CfC Crew!

During the training Christine gave us the Project Think Different cd… the 2nd track on that cd is by AfroDZak… he’s a Boston-based hip hop & jazz artist… http://www.afrodzak.com/

We’re taking the DNCC CfC crew to an AfroDZak show in Foxboro at Patriot Place (Gillette Stadium) on Sunday, November 16th, at 2:00pm.  Afro said he’s going to try to get free stuff for the youth.  Would any groups like to join us?  If you’re interested, hit me up over email… davidvictorjenkins@gmail.com
