This Ward 8 program is helping kids write love letters…to themselves

“When the final bell rings in schools around the region, another kind of teaching gets underway. That’s when the action revs up at FAN, Fihankra Akoma Ntoaso, in Ward 8. The after-school program is open to any 9 to 17 year-old from the surrounding neighborhood, but it has a special focus on young people who are or may be impacted by the child welfare system, according to executive director Josephine Mazyck.”
