Fridays With Joe - Week 18

This picture above is one of the posters from the Hello Neighbor project we told you about earlier this week.  As a teacher, I was very impressed by the learning opportunities this idea provided for the students involved, but even more, I liked the way that it brought together people of all races, ages, and socio-economic positions.  I think the comment on this paticular poster is key, because it really sums up what it was all about.  Once you get a chance to really know someone, you see how much you actually have in common. 

So, the challenge for this week, is to get out in your neighborhood and meet some new people; especially the ones that you think are the most different from you.  Give them and chance, show them that you’re really interested in them.  You never know what valuable relationships you might develop when you choose to say, “Hello Neighbor”
