This is my experiment blog for trying out new things.. Young people are the key to solving global challenges, coupled with skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy are crucial for their success. That is why I get directly involved in education programs, advocacy, and technology access to enable tomorrow’s innovators.

VIDEO: PENCIL Helps Bed-Stuy High School Students Write Their Own Futures
Through the PENCIL Partnership Program that connects Fortune 500 companies with public schools, the students participated in a three-hour workshop with volunteers from Deloitte and Touche LLP, a professional services network firm, gaining skills, best practices and feedback from working professionals in the world of finance.
The Pencil Program currently works with close to 400 New York City public schools and more than 100,000 students throughout the five boroughs annually. The program is so successful in enriching student learning, it has become a model for cities nationwide.
