Great night of Hang Time New Haven last night!! 53 people on a warm smokey night came together to build respect, understanding and community!
We awarded a extrodinay high school student with one of our ten (10) Annual scholarships after a local selection committee voted to provide $1K him the academic award. He was incredibly articulate in expressing his grattitude for the award and thanked his grand parents (pictured with him), mother & father for making him the strong and driven young man he is today.
Special shout outs to Paulie C, Barbara & Marisa for providing amazing food as part of the "HV Community Feed". Several first time attendees left with their bellys and souls filled with love.
Program Facilitator Saladin A. Hasan Sr & Samantha Tellefsen held a robust discussion about "Nice vs Kind" and the perceptions of the difference. The entire New Haven HT team (Isha, Roger, Samantha, Hasan, Keith & SCSU Interns) is rockin the program like never before!
