GenYES Express
|
April 2007 | |
Hello from Monrovia, Liberia -
In three days, I will be attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Liberia Renaissance School. Two years ago, this day seemed impossible in a country just out of civil war and a generation of children lost. Now, with the first female head of state in Africa leading the way, the next generation of children will have the opportunity to rebuild their country. I'm proud to be a small part of this moment in history. Forward, Dennis Harper

| GenYES student blogs from behind the scenes
We got some exciting news a few weeks ago from Nick News with Linda Ellerbee. Camera crews were coming to do a profile on one of our veteran GenYES schools, Longfellow Middle School in Hill City, Kansas. As part of a series on Education in America, they wanted to showcase the positive partnerships between students and teachers.
