Today my group met with Ed Buckner who is one of the co-founders of The Porch Cultural Organization located in the 7th Ward . This organization works with elementary and middle school kids to develop projects that will get them to learn more about New Orleans and specifically their neighborhood. Ed had an amazing story about how he got involved with the kids to help keep them off the street and get into things such as digital media, art, and Mardi Gras parades. The kids also write and perform plays in which they perform in different areas around the city.
