NEWNESSS!!!!

Newness!!!!

So recently I got elected to the president of the “not in our School “ organization at Nashua high school south. not in our school takes issues and events that are prevalent in a pad way and does whatever it can to either inform the public or stop it to make sure its “not in our school”. We have dealt with Darfur, Aids, bullying and this year im looking forward to using Rhythm Rhymes Records and Not in Our school to do something bigg! One idea that I am having is holding a Charity Palooozza week or a Nashua cares week or something. And having a hip hop benefit especially with dancers and food and dancers and something like the one voice convert only with more dance and food and something bigger. Last year I had so much fun with the concert and we raised a whole lot of money for the Global und to deal with AIDs, Malaria and TB. This year I want to support young dancers and musicians while using that to support UNICEF!!!!! Well, that’s all for now, and I will give details soon.


For a third consecutive year, Ashoka’s Youth Venture® and Staples Foundation for Learning® have been proud to sponsor the Staples Ashoka Youth Social Entrepreneur Competition. This global opportunity was open to all Youth Venture Teams in good standing, with members between the ages 12-24, and possessed demonstrated excellence in leading positive social change in their community. A community was defined as a local neighborhood, city, nation, or world.

Ashoka’s Youth Venture operates programs in 17 countries – and its global program staff nominated Venture Teams from each country to participate and compete in this year’s opportunity.
