Eli Escobar interviewed Executive Director for Lemonade Day, Bailey Kinney. Lemonade Day is a fun, experiential program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their very own business - a lemonade stand. Each year, in participating cities, youth have the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship by setting up their business during their city's community-wide Lemonade Day. Lemonade day originated in Houston and now is in many cities throughout the country.   Lemonade Day will take place the first weekend in May.  Lemonade Day was founded on an important American principle that entrepreneurs take risks, believing they can realize their dream if they work hard, take responsibility and act as good stewards of their resources. Today’s youth – at the national and international level – share that optimism but lack the life skills, mentorship and real-world experience necessary to be successful.

Eli Escobar interviewed Executive Director, Mr. Barry Ward, for Trees For Houston.org.  Trees For Houston, in addition to street tree plantings, their reach now includes planting projects ranging from esplanades and trails to parks and schools. Their constituency is as diverse and dynamic as the city of Houston itself. By planting trees wherever they may benefit the public, they can ensure a far-reaching impact throughout our region for generations to come. They will ultimately plant 1 million trees over the next decade. The new facility is essential to achieving this goal. The City of Houston’s Resiliency Plan includes the planting of 4.6 million new native trees by 2030, which is what is needed to offset pollution. Trees For Houston is building a new, permanent campus on 1.5 acres in Houston’s Oak Forest area featuring an onsite tree nursery, office space and an education center. They just had our ceremonial groundbreaking on April 13. For more information or if you would like to volunteer visit www.treesforhouston.org.
