W.Y.S.E. is a curriculum based mentoring program for middle school girls at John Adams Middle School and LA Academy. We work with about 30 girls from each school and hold weekly sessions on a variety of topics (ie: sex, body image, healthy and unhealthy relationships, future options, discrimination, etc.) Each mentor is assigned 2 girls with whom they can form a closer relationship and communicate outside of the weekly school sessions. In addition, we form a cohesive group of mentors that bonds and supports one another.

Hey..that was a nice post. I specially liked your take on Facebook
applications. Applications on Facebook have been gaining a lot of
grounds recently. But very less achieve that "viral" status.
This one, featuring the Bollywood hearthrob Shahrukh Khan has that
"sticky" quality about it.
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=18614975589
It is based on the recent game show going by the name of "Paannchvi
Pass" (I don't remember the exact name. . . Shahrukh is God enough for
me :P )
Really liked the way they have designed the application.
Would like to know your thoughts on this one.
Will come back to this post soon.
