Congratulations!!!! I just saw this story on CNN....so touching and inspirational. I work with teen social innovators and social entrepreneurs (primarily in sub developed countries). I am currently based in South America.
I have to admit it was not easy to find this blog. I was searching for NY Glee Club, Staten Island Kids Chorus, Staten Island Glee Club, PS22 Glee Club :-P and I finally found the site through Wikipedia after typing in the entire name of the school. I am not sure if others are having the same challenge and thus that is why you are lacking comments from the stories.
Anyway, I heard that you needed to raise some money for your programming so I came here and I was surprised not to find a donation link. I am sure that once people see this story alot of them will want to give money. So for those who are not going to be able to write you a big check like the Hollywood stars I know they still want to make a contribution to support your programming as well. I want to suggest a website like www.indiegogo.com where you can upload your cause and how much money you want to raise and then you can place a little widget on your site. Then people from all around the world can donate money to you. Then hopefully when it's all said and done you can make a documentary or something :)
If you are lacking time or need my support, I can set up the page for you as part of my support for the arts and also youth. I would just need the paypal email address to link the page to for you. I can source the videos and copy from the web. Or I can have one of my teen entrepreneurs create this as part of their charitable work to their community as well. I am thinking of someone like Ben Lang, a 16 year old social entrepreneur and founder of (www.epiclaunch.com) who is based in New York and has built up an extremely successful community and is a huge advocate of the arts.
Let me know how I can support you.
My handle is @teenbizcoach on Twitter or you can search my name on Facebook or any of the social networks and find me. I will look for your fan page as well.
I just saw this video and I have to tell you all what an inspiration you are. Your choral director must be fantastic and I hope some day every child could have the opportunity to pursue the arts when in school. Keep up the good work, guys!!
@Shonika: I don't see how this blog is difficult to find when a simple "PS22" would've done the job. They have nothing to do with Glee though, so it's not surprising that "Glee club" won't give any useful results.
All comments are subject for approval. So be patient if it doesn't appear right away. I do my best to reply to all comments, but time doesn't always allow. Every comment is read and appreciated, believe me!
