This is a new joint right here... Yal remember that British singer Craig David back in middle school? He is back... his music is tight... 
Finally a productive entry... This is what I did over Spring Break... With 6 of my close brothas and sistas!!!! Tight tight!
March 4-9 in Camden, New Jersey. Camden is ranked #1 for the poorest city in America but ironically New Jersey is the richest state ... Camden is also ranked #1 for the most dangerous city in the U.S. and is also known as "Murder City".... However, a christian organization called "Urban Promise" has schooled and helped young kids turn away from the old and turn to the new! with Jesus Christ by their side .... Here are a few pics....

We did a lot of labor work at Urban Promise from morning till lunch time... Helping the program organize their new school building... We organized shelves, build play material, hang boards up, set up pool tables, etc. After our work at Urban Promise... We went to south Camden? to an after school program and worked with K-4 graders... They are sooo tight and funny... so mature.... Some if not all grow up tough, mothers/fathers are drug dealers in jail, older brothers and sisters are doing the same... but these kids are smart... This after program is tight cause they really enphasize Christianity in their lessons!! Awesome!!! If you want to know more about the trip, come talk to me!!! Maybe you'll go next year too? heh~ 

I helped this kid out with his homework. Actually he didn't need any help cause he was so smart. His dad is a drug dealer and his mom has problems with the law. His older brother is in jail... I asked him what he wanted to be when he grow up... he said," FBI agent, so I can catch all the bad guys..." 
So many of those little graves... We came across this during a tour of Camden... Those are graves of the crack babies... 1-2 weeks old... most of them  Funny story: During the tour of Camden (second day)... our guide asked if there was something wrong with the street and stores... and Joe yells... "DOMNIOS IS CLOSED!!!!" yo we (the team) were so embarassed hahaha   We drove past this everyday... inspiring!
Philly After our stay at Camden, heading back towards NOVA, we stopped by Philly to chill
