30 Poems in November! is a literary fundraiser for Center for New Americans. Center for New Americans welcomes and serves immigrants in Western Massachusetts with free English classes and a range of support services. For more information, please visit: http://www.cnam.org This year, we aim to raise $60,000. Writers do their part by writing one poem each day in November. Friends and family do their part by donating to support this effort. Powerful new poems and financial contributions translate to community support for immigrants. Thank you for your support!
Dear Family and Friends, The reknown academic, Paulo Freire, spoke of "read the word, read the world." Scaffolding off his quote, I want to use 30 Poems in November to Write the World. This year, I will write poems that take a look at the lives of people around me...their ups and downs, triumphs and failures, dreams and goals. In doing so, I ask that you support my efforts so that I might reach my goal. Added to the donations of others, these funds help us to provide much needed technology, classes and teachers for our students.
As always, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! I couldn't do this without the support you all give. Blessings!
