POHGEP - Sponsor
a Child
 You
can
join Port of Harlem with sponsoring a child's pre-K through 2nd grade
education for
only $149. We will provide you the child's name and yearly
updates
on the student's progress. Early next year, we
will
also provide you a picture of
the child.
Why this school? This partnership is the result of a more than
decade
old friendship between the publisher of this magazine and Suwareh
Jabai,
a board member of the school. To pay on this website using your
personal
check or credit card, click here,
or
send $149, indicating whether you want to sponsor a male or
female, to Port of Harlem;
3215 W Street, SE; Washington, D.C. 20020-3364.

POHGEP
- The Pen Pal Program
The
pen pal
program gives children on both sides
of
the Atlantic:
- a
positive
experience with communicating with other African people
- encouragement
to become globally aware
- an
opportunity
to express themselves through art and/or writing
