One of our favorite Bushwick people, poet Modesto Flako Jimenez is involved with Still Waters, “a reading and writing sanctuary for kids, a safe space for self-expression in the neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn.” He asked us to spread the word because Still Waters is now looking for kind and patient volunteers to help children ages 6 to 14. You will sit next to a child and encourage her into literacy! How amazing! Flako says that they have about two dozen kids a day that need help. The hours are any portion of 1-5:30, Monday through Thursday, and Saturday. Even two hours a week can change a life for the better.
