Hi Everyone,
Julian Omidi here, just stopping by to update you on what Dr. Omidi and I have been up to with our organization, No More Poverty. As many of you know, my brother, Dr. Omidi, and I created No More Poverty in order to help other organizations end poverty through a variety of different outreach efforts. Well, recently, we discovered another organization that we just had to place our support behind. Based in Los Angeles, Foundation for Second Chances is a very effective community based organization that offers mentoring programs, tutoring, after school activities and literacy support to scores of young people who are living in underserved communities throughout the city.
It excites us to hear about students who were once failing in school, but who are now achieving A and B averages thanks to the programs offered through Foundation for Second Chances. Once we learned about what the organization has been able to accomplish with the help of more than 300 volunteers, we wanted No More Poverty to immediately offer support. Despite being on a tight budget, Foundation for Second Chances works very hard to bring programs to about 150 inner-city youth in Los Angeles each and every day. Going above and beyond the pale, they also provide solid mentoring relationships to the children they serve. When Dr. Michael Omidi and I formed No More Poverty, helping community based organizations like Foundation for Second Chances was exactly what we had in mind.
Now, I’m not just telling you about this organization because No More Poverty supports it. I’m not even taking the time to write to you about it simply because they are doing such an awesome job in providing outreach assistance to so many bright and talented young people. While these are certainly topics I can spend a lot of time expounding on, my real purpose in taking the time to write to you today is to ask you to help Foundation for Second Chances, too.
There are a number of ways that you can help Foundation for Second Chances continue to make a positive impact in Los Angeles. To begin with, your financial contributions are always appreciated. Second Chances uses monies donated to them to purchase books and other school supplies, as well as to help fund their after school and tutoring programs. They even help children access regular medical check-ups and health screenings.
You may also help Foundation for Second Chances by volunteering your time. Whether you volunteer as a mentor, a tutor or you volunteer to help organize a special event, your hands-on assistance is always welcome. Most of the services that Foundation for Second Chances provides to Los Angeles youngsters are made possible by committed volunteers who recognize a need and are willing to stand with a legion of other volunteers in helping improve the lives of the 1500 or so young people and their families who are currently being served by the organization.
Michael Omidi and I also hope that you’ll help spread the word about the good work that Foundation for Second Chances is doing in Los Angeles. You can do this by telling everyone that you know about how No More Poverty is supporting the organization and why Dr. Omidi and I decided that NMP should do so. We also hope that you’ll tune into the NMP Facebook page to learn more about No More Poverty, Foundation for Second Chances and all of the other organizations that Dr. Michael Omidi, M.D. and I hope that you’ll support.
Thanks for stopping by and please remember to bookmark and return often for future updates about No More Poverty and the progress we are making in our goal of ending poverty wherever it exists.
