Program Graduation - May 9th, 2008

As students around the country are heading onto the summer, the San Francisco Digital Connectors are preparing for their graduation. Over the past 5 years, One Economy has been implementing this program in San Francisco. Please come join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of 16 youth graduating from their Fall 2007/Winter-Spring 2008 Session.

86 youth have participated in the San Francisco Program between three affordable housing properties: Heritage Homes, Britton Courts and Carter Terrace since 2003 and 10 of those youth have come out from our Pilot program in the Mission District; where we have been working since October 2008 providing technology services to the Latino families.

On May 9^th, 2008 we will recognize the youth by having our Program Graduating in the Mission District inside the Community Room of Valencia Gardens.

JAMBOREE!!

Wednesday April 9, we had a jamboree with the mission digital connectors, Vis valley and San Jose. We went to Carter terrace to meet everyone and to have ice breakers so we all could get to know each other. We waited for everyone to get there and then we went outside, where it was hella cold!! We then went back inside to eat and introduce each other. we all ate and were talking and having a good time. Most of us that were there were going to the Giants game at 7:15. I couldn't go so i just went home. Everyone that went to the game told me it was cool and that the giants won! yay!!

Birng it California

Tuesday April 8 we had an event called bring it home California. This event started at 3:30 but we had to earlier to prepare everything. When i got there their were many people already there it was a pretty awesome event.What we had to do was give people information about the bee-hive and register them in the website. We showed them many things about the beehive some people were really interested in it others were just doing to enter the raffle because in the raffle we were going to raffle a laptop for the person that had the most luck. Well it was really cool experience because I also learned more stuff about the beehive that didn't know before but know I do. The person that won the raffle was a young guy he seemed pretty intrested in the website and wanted to learn more so that's probably why he won it. Not only did they have a raffle but they also had food lots of food BBQ and lots of salads but I wasn't really hungry so i didn't eat much but cookies and cake. this was a great opportunity for people to learn what we did and to learn about the beehive.

The Event that we had on Tuesday was at Valencia Gardens, there was a lot of different organization's there. The event started at 3:30, but the Digital Connectors had to be here at 2. Most of us were late! i was the second person to arrive. I had to put my Beehive shirt on really fast, set up my laptop, sign in people and go to the table to talk to people about what we do as Digital Connectors. I was overwhelmed with all the stuff that i had to do the minute i walked through the door. The event was a lot to handle with all the people coming in and out, but it was a great experience with being able to talk to a lot of people. We were raffling a FREE laptop but you had to sign up with the Beehive in order to try to win it. There was the president if one economy and staff. They had a BBQ outside and had a lot of people talk about Valencia gardens and the digital connectors!! over all i had a lot of fun and i hope w could do that again!
