We finished editing our second video. We're really glad about how the second video turned out compared to the first video we created and edited. Sadly, today was also our last day working at the Greenburgh Town Hall. We had to say our goodbyes to everyone we have met and gotten to know.
Tonight, we got a special proclamation awarded to us and several other interns for our hard work and devotion to improving the community. It felt really good to have this awarded to us because it made us feel that people were taking notice of what we have done.

Three developmentally disabled residents of a group home with Down Syndrome want to raise money to get a sidewalk built on Chatterton Parkway in Greenburgh, NY.
Guides
- Emily Kingsley (Our Sponser)
- Mr. Henry (Our Mentor)
- Mr. Leong (Our Case Manager)
People We Have Met
- Paul Feiner (Greenburgh Town Supervisor)
- Allyson Felix (Part-Time Consultant)
- Sgt. Gillis
- Greenburgh Town Engineers
- Nita Lowey (U.S. Congresswoman)
- Peter Feroe (Assistant to Nita)
- The 3 Musketeers - Jason Kingsley, Raymond Frost, Yaniv Gorodischer
- Lawrence Birnbach
- Vic Leviatin (former teacher at Woodlands High School)
Obstacles
- Some guy who works in an office at the Greenburgh Town Hall. He tries to discourage us by implying that we are not working hard enough and doesn't take us or this project seriously. It is very frustrating when people think that we are not accomplishing work just because we are interns and in high school. We face this obstacle with many other companies that we call up to support us, but we are determined to make this project happen and to make a difference.
Sidewalk Obstacles
- The road is very narrow and steep. The phone poles are too close to the road and it would cost extra money to move them. Moving the phone poles closer to the houses will most likely be dangerous because we do not understand the medical consequences of living closer to the power lines.
-Liabilities of the sidewalk being on private property.
