I have been home for about 3 weeks now. I miss it. A lot. It's weird being back home, but it's good seeing my friends and family again. Besides, I now have the chance to tell new people at SEGL everyday. Spread the word, obviously. Blogging was a big part of my semester away as I became the unofficial historian for the inaugural spring semester. Needless to say, I miss blogging. A lot. So, I've decided to update everyone on my social venture project. Yay!
My project is titled New Lens: Photography in the Inner City. New Lens is an after-school digital photography program for 5th graders in the Cleveland city schools. The mission of New Lens is to provide these fifth graders with a creative outlet and an opportunity to foster their passions or even discover a new one. I want other children to be inspired, to be creative, and to be passionate about something that brings me a great deal of joy.
Currently, I am in the process of applying for the start up grant from Ashoka, scheduling meetings with my 6 dedicated team members, and trying to make a connection with a Cleveland charter school where I would like to launch the program.
That's all for now. I will keep you updated. I just can't stay away from blogging.

Shiver me timbers!
So as you know major parts of the SEGL curriculum are the capstone projects, one of which is the collaborative policy document or CPD, as Winson affectionately calls it. This past semester, we spent 3 weeks and then some working on our policy document about Piracy in Somalia. We even got to meet with the foremost officials about piracy in Somalia at the State Department. It was amazing. So without further ado, I present the Class of Spring 2010's CPD about Pirates! Read up!
