Friends of McDonald School Pt 1

Nytasha Sowers, Barbara Reid, Rick Mohler, Kathleen Ellsbury

50 In 52 Journey interview of Nytasha Sowers, Barbara Reid, Rick Mohler, and Kathleen Ellsbury of Friends of McDonald School. In the 1980's the school district closed the neighborhood school and let it go into disrepair. Now used as an interim school only, leaving it vacant much of the time, the district doesn't have the resources to keep up the grounds, especially the playground. So what do you do when the only open space within walking distance for your community is now a target for drugs and unsavory activity? Watch this video and see how these four people, along with many others in their community banded together and decided to do something about it. Listen to their inspiring story of making a real difference in the lives of those who live in their community. Watch this first of two part interviews and see that working together as a community really can move your neighborhood, your state, and this country forward.
