They are not all drug gang bangers. Given the right guidance and opportunity, young men like Demario can beat the odds and succeed.
| Dear michael, We are excited to share a heartwarming success story that is made possible through your continued support. Meet Demario Slaughter, a shining example of the incredible transformations happening within our neighborhood through Project H.O.O.D. Demario, a proud member of New Beginnings Church, has been a part of Project H.O.O.D since his early years. As a young participant, he eagerly engaged in our summer programs, soaking up knowledge and inspiration from our dedicated mentors and counselors. His passion and dedication led him to become one of our first high school summer camp counselors, serving as a role model for younger generations. With the help of a scholarship, Demario began his college education at the University of Iowa, where he excelled academically while never forgetting his roots. He later transferred to the esteemed University of California, Berkeley, where his commitment to learning and pursuit of excellence continued to thrive. Incredibly, we are overjoyed to announce that Demario has been accepted into the prestigious NASA L'SPACE Academy as a mission intern for the NASA Lucy project. This incredible opportunity will allow him to work alongside renowned scientists and engineers, gaining valuable experience in the aerospace industry. Demario's acceptance into this program is a testament to his unwavering determination and the bright future that lies ahead. |
