Hey guys. You’re probably wondering why I’m posting a picture of what appears to be a human mix with a bird. Well I shall tell you! I have been writing an original story about 19th century scientist by the name of Edward Cadmon. He goes to the Amazon to earn his doctorate by studying the species there. In the process he discovers a species of winged humanoid creatures like the one pictured above and even befriends on named Zaphod. If you find this interesting in the slightest, go to this blog. I have the first two parts up as well as a few cute comics. If you don’t feel like clicking but still want to help me, reblogs are appreciated! Thanks! http://angeloftheamazon.tumblr.com

I spent yesterday afternoon in a brainstorming session with Ms. Lopez and her assistant principal Ms. Achu, trying to think of creative ways that the HONY community could help further the vision of Mott Hall Bridges Academy. Our discussion covered many needs, but we kept returning to one in particular— the limited horizons of disadvantaged youth. Ms. Lopez’s school is situated in a neighborhood with the highest crime rate in New York, and many of her scholars have very limited mobility. Some of them are very much ‘stuck’ in their neighborhood. And many have never left the city. “It can be very difficult for them to dream beyond what they know,” Ms. Lopez explained.  So the three of us struck on an idea. (OK, it was Ms. Achu’s idea, but we all agreed.) We want to create a fund that will provide each incoming 6th grade class at Mott Hall Bridges Academy a chance to get out of their neighborhood and visit a new place. And that place is Harvard University. “I want every child who enters my school to know that they can go anywhere, and that they will belong,” said Ms. Lopez. So we’re going to try to make it happen! Let’s help this visionary educator enrich the lives of her students.  Please consider donating: http://bit.ly/1JmIB8u
