This photo just stopped me. It almost requires no words at all. To look at the emotions, the inspiration, the hope in the "everything" of these two young ladies at an inner-city school in Atlanta, says it all.
These two young ladies were readying themselves for their 2 minute "pitch" opportunity at our HOPE Business In A Box event at Jean Childs Young Middle School, in Atlanta, Georgia. This pitch event was part of a HOPE Business In A Box pilot we conducted in Atlanta, Denver and Oakland public schools.
Stay tune for more to come. This initiative has transformational potential. Just look at these young ladies, to understand why.
HOPE Business In A Box is the premiere Operation HOPE intervention strategy that will drive changes in the Gallup-HOPE Index annual behavorial economic results for our nation's youth and future economic leaders.
