All in the Family at This Point. Week 3 of Young Adult Literacy Labs. Wonderful to See Robel, Older Brother to Natu, Last Week. Where Does the Time Go?

Way before Covid, Robel arrived from Eritrea and was given scholarship to attend Ubuntu Academy. Mentoring him, I hired him as a youth leadership leader for years that followed. Last week, we had his little brother Robel for Little Lab for Big Imaginations. Abu and I took Robel for his first haircut in the United States....a total makeover. Loving to see he now has waves as Abu taught him. Funny how that works. 

This week, we welcome College Essay and Ubuntu Academy...our biggest crowds yet. 

Robel has two jobs and is going to community college, as well. He played soccer for Bassick High School and did a 2nd senior year to develop more English. Great student...wonderful man. He deserves nothing but the best from this world. 

Rumor has it the heat will likely subside sometime today, as storms wipe out the humidity. It was a brutal weekend, and when I went to bed last night it was still 87 degrees outside.

I need to head out the door. This begins week one of busing kids to campus and that is always a bit of drama. Let the phone games begin. Hoping for the best.
