Reach for Success to create newsletter
Vieques youth organization Reach for Success plans a newsletter with local help.
On a rainy afternoon, January 5, 2010, two retired newspaper men, Chuck Tepfer and Vincent Tozzi, spoke to 20 young adults from Reach for Success about the students' wish to create a RFS Newsletter.
These young people want the world to know about their personal struggle on this war torn island, and other things they feel is important for people to know about Viequense youth. Tozzi says, "I believe their plight is noble, intelligent, and worthy. They are truly Reaching for Success."
Tepfer says, "The idea was to get them motivated, and I think we did that. The next meeting will tell."
Even though Tepfer and Tozzi did not speak much Spanish, the students were patient, pleasant and amiable.
At the end of the 1/2 hour meeting, the group chose an editor, a printer, and one young lady volunteered to write articles.
"This is just the beginning. We can expect great things from these young Viequense people," added Tepfer.
There will be another meeting in the near future.
