Urban youths learn about gardening, nutrition and giving back

We have the pleasure of being brought into work on raising awareness for the Green Earth Golden Character Project (GEGC).  The New Radar will be working with Ms. Naeemah Jackson to raise awareness on her project utilizing the various  social networks and software like Stayclassy.org and Kickstarter.com.


The Devington urban garden -- the brainchild of organizer Naeemah Jackson -- is a 5-acre plot on the Far-Eastside where middle school and high school students come together. Here, they not only learn about gardening, sustainability and nutrition but also make connections to their community and sharpen their life skills -- knowledge and experience that experts say is also important in succeeding in the classroom.
