Community Krump
Project Summary:
The purpose of my project is to help the community by giving children and adolescents from underprivileged and dangerous neighborhoods an alternative to the “street life.” I will be introducing them to the world of Krump dancing by giving lessons at a community center in North Philadelphia. Krump will be the main dance that I teach. Krump was originally invented to give the youth in South Central Los Angeles a means of staying off of the streets and out of gang life.

Kids-n-Sports is something that teenagers can help kids in their community. There are many sports to choose from, but I am mainly talking about basketball. If you want to get more specific Upward Basketball. If teenagers of today would get involved with the younger kids in their community, so many kids would grow up and not be involved with all of whats wrong with today.
Teenagers would volunteer their time to come out to the church and either coach or referre the younger kids. The kids would then get to know those teenagers and in turn try to be like them.

I started Computers for Communities (CFC) in 2001 when I was 9 years old. First I acquired computers that were being discarded from a local school. Then I refurbished and distributed them to individuals in my community that could not afford to have a computer at home. What a great feeling to see the smiles on those kids' faces. I felt like I was Santa Claus! Since then, I have created a non-profit organization that helps other groups do the same thing: locate discarded computers, refurbish them, and distribute them to those in need.
