Inspiring Story

Take one teacher, in this case Stephen Ritz, and watch what he can do with a group of students.  These children come from the South Bronx where Mr. Ritz instructs them.  This is an area that has 25% unemployment, where 40% of the citizens live below the poverty line and the median income of the area is a paltry $20,000.

I'd like to have you watch the following link and I think you will agree that, among us, given the resources, there are some bright, energetic and determined people.  We can help young people rise up.  I believe this story will affirm this.  Once you get to the site then type in 'Stephen Ritz' and you can select the video.  The video is entitled a 'Teacher growing green in the South Bronx.'
