“Service Learning in Health and Wellness” is a course offered by CCAPP at The City College of NY, which guides students to learn through hands-on services that address health issues in Harlem.
We've worked on making healthy snacks available in school vending machines, improved school cafeteria’s recycling, convinced local bodegas to offer healthy lunches, hosted farmers’ market, and developed a Healthy Living Guide with cancer prevention tips.

Red Hook Community Farm Harvest Festival
Hello Everyone,
I came across this great festival that will take place on Saturday, October 16 from 12-5:30pm, next to Red Hook Park.
This festival is a celebration of the urban agriculture and community farm. There will be a farmers market, where they locally grow produce and make hand-made products.
Therefore, I believe this will be a great way for us to network about our "Local Organic Produce Project", and also be able to receive some feedback on how to implement our idea on campus.
Plus, it's a free event, which includes free food.
I thought it would be a great event to plan for our group to visit.
Take care,
Bisma Sheikh
