Force for Health Teams: You Do Matter New Orleans
Robert Gillio • Mar 24, 2020
Never underestimate the power of a teenager. There are no barriers to those that are determined to climb over them or tear them down.
The youth of our nation inspire me and I hope can help us address our current needs. In the last couple of months, I have had the privilege to see Force for Health clubs are doing with the Learn it, Live it, Share it approach to helping themselves and then helping the community. IN the next few blogs I will highlight my favorite events and organizations with a couple thoughts and pictures.
New Orleans:
I had the thrill of watching young people do that at the Force for Health Partner “You Do Matter” event in New Orleans. There I saw about a dozen young boys and girls, who Director Joshua Williams refers to as Scholars. The Scholars presented what they have learned with their activities building their own computers and using them to learn more about the design and function of the computer and also the human body. It was great to see an early version of “Technology and Me” be utilized. Their after school meet up at the church program has created a generation of new mentors reaching back to encourage the new members.
The Marstronaut in Training program will begin this spring, starting to prepare middle and high school students for a career that could include being one of the first astronauts on Mars....a Marstronaut. You might want to watch as we humans land there today with NASA broadcasting beginning at 230 eastern.
