As many folks know last year we were a sponsor of the the summer basketball league in Woonsocket. This league helps keep our kids busy and active and we and community hope free of violence. This season we will sponsor another team, only this time it’s a little different. Joey Ramos was once a young person who played basketball all around the city, and unfortunately was lost senselessly to violence. Much of how we continue to honor NyAsia of who all of our nonviolence work started and continued in, we will honor Joey this summer with the permission of his family. We must do better for our young people and our community. The jerseys will have a logo in “Baby Joe”’s Joey’s name. This type of violence is not normal. Parents speak to your young people and pay attention to what they are involved in.

Good afternoon! It seems there may be a site at the high school and Globe park for meals for the kids in the summer. However, Social park where we know most of our kids hang out will not be hosting one. Therefore, beginning July 7-Aug 7 we will be asking folks to help with either bagged lunches or any type of fruits etc to be able to assist with the children in the park. With cuts from the state and lack of investment in our public school there is no option but to make cuts that are painful. But with poverty in the city as it is with the kids, community really needs to come together on this. We will be hosting an informational meeting on June 10th at 6:00pm at Harris Library. We will also have on hand the latest statistics per the latest Kids Count Data regarding Woonsocket. Let’s make sure the kids have access to food in the park this summer.
Thank you
