In The Heights . . . Dreams Come True
It's videos like this that warm the heart. A ten year old fan of the Broadway show "In the Heights" got more than he imagined when he wrote Lin-Manuel Miranda, the star and writer of the show asking to meet him backstage. Lin-Manuel orchestrated for the boy to perform the finale of the show in an after show performance. The boy had been posting videos on You Tube singing songs from the show. The look on Lin-Manuel as he watches the boy get his dream is priceless.
You can head an interview with the boy and his mother as well as a video of Lin-Manuel speaking about the experience and how it came about at Broadway World.

Help our children
Most of the projects are very low cost, sometimes less than $100.00 can provide classroom supplies that should be a right for any student.
Here in the U.S. education seems to be left behind when budget cuts are considered. It is a testament to the true heroes in our society, the teachers that commit themselves in spite of the lack of support.
I have created a donors page that can be accessed through the link above. In here I have posted some projects that will be expiring soon and need very little money to complete.
Please help in any way you can and be proud of the fact that you are doing some good in a child's life.
