“Not on Our Watch”
Right now, I’m on my way to New York City to attend the Centennial NAACP Convention. Tonight, ONE’s Edith Jibunoh, who works on the ground in Nigeria, will participate as a panelist in their Youth Night meeting entitled, “Not on Our Watch.”
The event, which takes place at 6:30 pm EST, will highlight how today’s youth activists are working together around global causes to heighten awareness of problems around the world. The conversation will focus on extreme poverty, genocide in Africa, and the green movement. Participants will also learn about ways that youths around the world are getting involved in these issues and how they can tackle these problems. I’ll let you know how it all goes later, but you can catch it all on a live webcast!

i know this might sound weird, but i’m taking a music survey class and need to survey 50 people. All i need to know is if you’ve ever played the piano. Literally, have your fingers every touched piano keys. Thanks!
