Project 2: This teacher in the South Bronx is trying to raise money to buy books for her inner city students to help inspire them to do something big with their lives. The book, which is based on a true story, is called "We Beat the Street." It describes how three boys went from being underprivileged teens to practicing physicians.

The book, which is based on a true story, is called "We Beat the Street." It describes how three boys went from being underprivileged teens to practicing physicians. Even today, there is a shortage of physicians working with minority and low-income populations. Therefore, I am asking my blog readers to please help inspire this teacher's students to think about medicine as a career goal. Thanks to all of you donors who helped to fund these three projects! hide

  • Help My Students "Beat the Streets" Through Reading

    Funded Dec 9, 2007

    Thank you so much for funding my proposal! I'm so excited that I'll be able to use these books as my children continue learning about non-fiction during the second half of this school year. My students will be extremely excited to read about success in the inner city. Thanks again, I can't wait for my children to read this book”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. S.

  • Heart You Glad You Helped Us Learn

    Funded Nov 10, 2007

    Your generosity will truly give my students a fun and exciting opportunity this year in 7th grade science. They will finally get the opportunity to see a heart first-hand that so closely resembles the one that beats within their own body.

    The hands on learning opportunity they will receive when they explore the structure of the pig hearts with their new dissection kits will be an educational experience they will be sure never to forget.

    Thank you so very much for giving my students this invaluable science learning opportunity”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dornbier

  • Foot Bone's Connected to the Leg Bone....

    Funded Nov 4, 2007

    Thank you so much! I cannot wait until school takes in on Monday to tell my students about your wonderful gift to them! They will be thrilled!

    Words cannot express the gratitude that I feel. The impact of your generosity will continue through the years to come, and I will make certain that my students remember that a stranger out there cared enough about them to make sure they got what they needed for their education. You will never know the boost to their esteem that such thing produces. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of my students, bless you!

    Sincerely,

    Ms. Bobbie F
