The "Making Our Home Here" stories

We've now posted the student stories from our event "Making Our Home Here: Young Philadelphians Tell Their Stories." You can read them here.

These past several weeks have been full of activity. Continuing with our February theme of relationships, we worked with students in presenting a Multicultural New Year assembly to the entire school. We also held a lunchtime workshop on Vietnamese culture that generated many enthusiastic questions, and have just started our first chess tournament. This week, we took students on a trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where we learned about the relationship between the artist and society.

I have also enjoyed talking to other people about our work. Lately, I've had the opportunity to tell a variety of people about what we do, ranging from fellow out-of-school time practitioners to students at Central High School to the board members of our organization to members of Philadelphia's city council. It is gratifying to know that others take an interest in what we do at Project Bridging Cultures.
