The Little Flock threw Latrina a bridal shower before she tied the knot in August. The little kids brought her little gifts and when she walked into the room, they stood up to sing a song. For them, it was all about winning prizes after answering questions. They forgot it was a party, to celebrate Latrina, and started to compete for prizes.
On Tuesday September 22. The City of New York uprooted several roads in the Bronx: A strip of East 178th Street, Marion, Mapes, Prospect and Clinton Avenues.
Today, October the 12th, the roads are currently unpaved. It is getting windy and cold. Autumn has begun and the weather is changing steadily. Instead of enjoying the fresh air and the change of the season, the community is forced to smell tar and breathe in chemials every single day. God forbid its really windy, that means dust is everywhere! Not only that, every pot hole and swer cap is exposed.
This is a residential area with playgroungs and schools full of children who carry asthma pumps.
When will the city finish the job that they started?
In September, I took the Little Flock to Crotona Park and we listened to the Youth Orchestra of Caracas. Heidi Hynes, my supervisor, mentioned the concert to me the week before.
I am a strong believer in music and was happy the parents at my church allowed their children to join me.
It was a concert celebrating 10 years of solidarity between the Bronx and Venezuela. In 2005, the late President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, provided gallons of discounted heating oil to thousands of low-income residents of the South Bronx. While sitting there on the grass, I felt a feeling of positivity in the air, it felt like only the possible could happen for the rest of my life!. Everyone was celebrating the goodness in the Bronx and all the things that can happen when you put your mind to it…
I was happy I went because the concert has inspired me on many levels.
Everytime I go to a music concert, it reminds me how hard work really does pay off. It also make me pick up my flute and take time to pratice the piano. I enjoyed the testimonies given by UpbeatNYC.
The children who went with me expressed their desire to learn how to eventually play an instrument.
One of the best comments during the concert was: “In Venezuela it is a child’s consitutional right to learn music”.
Why do kids love Porta Potties?? They all wanted to ‘use the bathroom badly’ when they saw the porta potties.
