Happy Anniversary Girl Blue!
The Girl Blue Project
will be turning 5 years old in June and we have lots to
celebrate! Thank you for your generous support over the
past years. We couldn’t have done it without you.
We have received countless emails and letters from our girls
and parents about the positive impact the program has had
on their lives. 98% of our college age members are attending
college. Desteni Smith has traveled outside
of the United States to experience new cultures and is currently
a freshman at UC Berkley. Emerald Woodland,
a 2nd year member is only 15 years old and working on her
AA degree! You should be proud of the investment that you
have made.
The Girl Blue Project
will celebrate its 5th Anniversary by concentrating on teen
girls in Foster Care and Hurricane Katrina/Rita evacuees
who have relocated to Los Angeles. Did you know that once
these teens become emancipated adults they lose many of
their government services? What’s that all about?
We’ll tell you what it’s all about…It’s
about Girl Blue being pro-active and providing them with
a nurturing environment, educational and life skills that
stimulate the mind, body and spirit. The fact of the matter
is The Girl Blue Project wants to empower these young women.
Our new classes are designed to help them become self-sufficient
and instill them with a sense of purpose. Actress, Karen
Malina White (Miss Karen to Girl Blue) has agreed
to teach acting this year and possibly direct. She has supported
us from the beginning. I am sure the girls will learn a
lot from this seasoned veteran. New to Girl Blue is Miguel
Coleman. Miguel has worked in the San Diego area
& Los Angeles as a Capoeira instructor to youth and
adults. He will be conducting our new self-defense workshop
for women. We have also planned a few surprises this year
that no anniversary celebration should go without. We are
very excited about the possibilities this year will bring
and are looking forward to welcoming the 2007 members!
Please join The Girl Blue
Project in our 5th Anniversary Celebration
and toast to new beginnings by making a tax deductible contribution
to increase to wellbeing of another human being.
