Sharing Web Resources

Some of the links on the home page for the Harlem Children's Zone website lead to donations, more information about Harlem Children's Zone, Project Pipeline Information, Latest news and more news, and a business report to show how monies are being spent.

I chose to research the "Path to Sustainability" link on the website. President Obama is quoted as saying, "If we know it works, there's no reason this program should stop at the end of the blocks in Harlem. (Obama, 2008).
The Harlem Children's Zone has moved from an experiment to a success, and the final challenge is sustainability. Its clear what a nation such as ours needs to compete successfully in this global economy of the 21st century - a workforce that is ready and well-educated. (HCZ, 2012).

This project leads me to understand the wonderful job HCZ is doing and makes me believe that they will not have any problem sustaining their success. I hope it translates to other communities and becomes a national stereotype!

    I loved that article on the Harlem Children's Zone and special the Project Pipeline where it show where the children start from birth to college I think that is a good example.
