It’s almost that time when kids throughout Harlem return to school. This school year, I hope you’ll join us in supporting Global Language Project (GLP), an educational 501(c)(3) that brings foreign language programs into underserved elementary schools and provides low-income students with learning and cultural activities that help to increase their test scores in core subjects like Math and Science, encourage them to embrace diversity, and prepare them to complete in our globalized world and workforce. This year, GLP will serve 1,500 students.  As a strong advocate of GLP’s work, I am campaigning to raise $1,500 – one dollar for every child – for the organization this August and September. Please support GLP kids today by clicking here: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/angiehancock1/angiehancocksfundraisingpage. All funds raised will go directly toward GLP students and programs. Thank you for helping me to transform the lives of low-income kids in Harlem! #cultural #guide #essential #event #Harlem #local #Uptown #culture #NewYork #experienceharlem #experience #ExperienceHarlem #NYC #shoplocal #harlemnyc #harlemites #NY
