One Teacher Can Make a Difference


http://www.thekelticdreams.com/


The Keltic Dreams Irish Dancers, are a group of 33 children ages 7-12 from Public School 59, PS 59 in the Bronx, NY. The school is situated in a low Socio Economic area in the Bronx and has a 95% poverty rate. The students are all African American and Hispanic and have no background in Irish culture.

Caroline Duggan inspired all these kids. Out of the almost 550 kids at her school, 500 have come out to her afterschool dance program. Caroline is the school's music teacher.

She's taken the dance troupe to Ireland twice already. They perform at a slew of events.

Donate to them. It's a wonderful program and a great tale of cooperation and accomplishment.
