Posted project update #8WPA August Update - Jamaica and beyond!
Hello all,It's really been an amazing time lately. After a series of tough false-starts in Jamaica, WPA-2010 is really going well.
Projects we have completed or are working on include:
-Basketball court repairs
-Benches for Bus Shelters
-Benches for Swimming Hole
-Building a Bus Shelter
-Pedestrian Cross Walk
-Sidewalk repairs
-Community message board
-Firehouse sign
-Mural on construction site
-Micro-credit programs in mom and pop shops
-Parent Resource information packetsAlso, just had a pretty interesting interview with the Roosevelt center, and got a call from NPR's All Things Considered about the project a few days ago!

It certainly is contagious, with another WPA sprouting up in New Jersey, and some recent interest from Texas, Hawaii, and the Bronx.

P.S. I will be in touch the end of the summer to collect the needed information to send you all your "incentive" gifts. Thanks again for all of your support!
