Attended Greater Homewood Community Corporation’s 3rd Annual Neighborhood Institute on Saturday.  BGM’s new intern, Deborah Sharpe, and I set up an information table for Baltimore Green Map and our new project, the Waverly/Greenmount/Charles Village Green Map. (See President Obama smiling on our enterprise.)

The event provided opportunities to share the many examples of effective strategies for improving the health of our neighborhoods and showcased the education assets at Barclay and Margaret Brent Schools. We met some real powerhouses of local activism.  It’s the people involved that make the difference!

Deborah, a graphic design major at Towson University, will collaborate on youth mapping and design tools as her senior capstone project.  We are working with Barclay School and surrounding neighborhoods to feature information on local resources and success stories through Green Mapping in print and interactive media. Welcome, Deborah!
