Winter - Spring 2016: Service Learning in Naro Maru, Kenya
I will be teaching sixth and seventh graders at three different primary schools. I will teach English, math, earth science, physical education and Kiswahili, the native language where I will a student rather than a teacher. In addition to teaching, there will be community-based infrastructure projects and I plan to donate soccer equipment and run a lacrosse clinic and donate lacrosse equipment, a sport they have never seen or played.

9/22/2013 Service: Diabetis Walk Event Volunteer (Organization: American Diabetis Association).
The American Diabetes Association was thrilled with having the boys there last Sunday to help set up (in the dark before the sun came up!) and throughout the morning. They not only helped with the set up and tear down, but added spirit and livelihood to the event as they cheered on the walkers. Thank you again to all those that were there. (See attached photo)
HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER TEAM SCORES SMILES WITH GOAL OF HELPING OTHERS
by Tim Troglen | reporter Published:
Hudson -- The high school boy's soccer team has not only scored a bunch of points on the field this season, but the team, whose season ends later this month, has also scored more than a few smiles off the field.
The team has taken part in a variety of events which benefit the community and beyond.
"At the beginning of the season it was stressed to our team that we wanted to be the best that we could possibly be on the field, in the classroom and as leaders in the community," Coach Kelsey Resnick said. "After several discussions and some searching, the team decided to help support local events, including a [Sept. 20] fragile x syndrome research fundraiser led by two Hudson High School alumni, a [Sept. 22] walk sponsored by the American Diabetes Association at Hudson Springs Park and Hudson United Soccer Club's Soccer4All, a youth soccer program for kids with physical or developmental disabilities in the community."
I am a board member on the student youth advisory board for the Hudson Community First Organization (Click hudsoncommunityfirst.com icon for more information).
