We're back! Thought we'd give you another perspective - video. Take a peek into the theatrics of nature vs 7th graders - well, 8th graders now. 

Whether swimming, fishing, or taking out trash, we think you'll - as did we - enjoy the life and times of our Lake Lanier week end. Don't miss it!!

Reality: 101 Lake Lanier Camping Trip

Our end of the year camping trip was nothing short of adventure-filled. One hour after arriving we were hit with almost tornado-like winds (see pic) that almost eradicated our camp site; aside from that the outing was  fast, fun, and furious!
We'd like to share a few pics and videos for your enjoyment! Check in for our upcoming event.

After the storm!

 Renovation needed!

Atlanta Greek Picnic 2011

Joint

Yeah, it was that time again! Atlanta hosted the 2011 Greek Picnic fraternity event turning Atlanta into a four day extravaganza! From Sweet Georgia Juke Joint to the Atlanta library, Cascade Skating Rink to the Step Show at Morehouse College Forbes Arena, community service to church, to Loca Luna's.
The Greeks utilized the great city of Atlanta, and now they're gone!

Joint Sponsor Tiwaworks of Atlanta, recognized Ezra Project, Inc and partner Morehouse Education Association as community organizations that are making a difference in the community.

We thank you Tiwa, and wish you continued success in your upcoming Nigerian event.

Education; The plight of a nation

To make a difference in the plight of education is Ezra Project's purpose for existent. We recognize that the current system has issues that run deeper than the current provisions being offered as "educating" our youth. 


Interestingly, the U.S. currently ranks 15^th among 27 recognized industrialized countries in college graduates, and we fall outside of the top 20 countries in mathematics, science, and reasoning. We are looking to make change. If that's not enough, African-American males are in an even worse predicament as 53% of African-American males do not graduate from high school and 86% do not graduate from higher education at all.


The solution to these provocative statistics need intensive, deliberate attention; of the kind that not just educates a student, but reforms a generation.
To reinforce the theoretic position of Ezra Project, Inc., we interviewed  three middle school teachers, soliciting their personal perspective to the question: How can we help?

Men of Honor

Students in the Reality: 101 leadership mentoring program at Brown Middle School express their viewpoints concerning the program,  and what having a mentor meant to them. It has been an eventful, yet rewarding year. As a means to recap, reflect, and have fun, in June the students and staff will be taking an expeditionary week end trip to Lake Lanier, GA. 

We at Ezra Project, Inc. salute and give thanks to the students, parents, and Brown Middle School administration that has done so much to make this pilot year a success! We anticipate a wonderful new year, one filled with expectation and hope. Won't you partner with us?

This will be a lip-smacking event! Visit us again for upcoming details.

We are currently looking for sponsors to off-set the cost of the event. Won't you partner with us in helping children succeed?
