project ideas

Hey yall, since we're all in the birthing process of raising a project idea I have a few seeds to plant. These are all in abstract since we still have a lot of information to digest. I see two targets within the community we have the opportunity to impact. The two objectives being the SICK/OLD and the YOUNG.

SICK/OLD- design and implement an outreach program that involves making healthy food/produce easier to obtain for the sick or mal-conditioned by cancer. (this approach utilizes our partnership with the catering company)

YOUNG-organize and stage an informal awareness/educational seminar that allows us the opportunity to expose/push our worthy "agenda"(yet to be developed, but that I feel should contain a message of personal and collective responsibility to adopt healthier food consumption habits for not only themselves but also to expose their elders and friends to) To me this approach hinges on our ability to obtain a public figure for our "seminar" that the young Harlem community would be receptive to. I think a New York Knick basketball player serves as a perfect living example to showcase the possible results one could meet by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Most athletes know this importance/role nutrition plays in there daily life and duties. Maybe we could find such an athlete that also has been impacted in their life someway by cancer, furthering their interest in our project. (this approach utilizes all our gathered info, stats, solutions we find through our research)
