Cheering for Karla!!!
Go Karla!
This March I’ll run Brooklyn Spring 10K and, in April, the Brooklyn Half Marathon to support Julián’s preschool One World Project (OWP). We’ve been so happy as new members of the warm and welcoming OWP community and we are lucky that Julián goes to school at OWP — a multilingual community center rooted in belonging, empathy, and care—for children, families, teachers, and staff. Every day is an incredible exploration for him and all the kiddos there who paint and construct with recycled materials, dance and sing in music class, tend to OWP’s gardens (and its orugitas!), and cook meals for each other.
OWP was founded as both a child-centered school dedicated to play, and as a community center for our diverse Brooklyn families. In service to these ideals, OWP offers scholarships to make the school more accessible to more families.
And to support OWP, if you’re able, please consider donating. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your support!
On Saturday, March 21 we’ll be running or walking the Brooklyn Spring 5K, 10K a wonderful event that will allow all our team to pick the race that is best for them.
Friday, April 24 is La Vuelta. We’ll gather at One World Project and the kids (and some grownups) will run, walk or scoot along Vanderbilt, down East 4th, along Greenwood Avenue, and up East 3rd. After the loop, we’ll gather on the patio for a party with upcycled medals for all participants. In Spanish, la vuelta means loop, like the one we’ll do around the block. Vuelta also means return. If your children have grown and you are no longer part of our preschool or after school program please consider La Vuelta an invitation to return to OWP for a visit. We would love to see you!
On Sunday, April 26 we will join half marathoners for NYC Runs, an epic running journey. The route starts in North Brooklyn and winds around the waterfront taking you under the historic Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges. From there, the route heads up the grand concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into historic brownstone Brooklyn. We will turn into Prospect Park at mile 10 to complete our 13.2 miles.
With love and care we have built a nurturing school and community center committed to learning. We want to sustain what makes One World Project so special and grow our scholarship fund and support our Universal PreK program so that OWP is accessible to more families. Together we are working to raise $50,000.
We truly appreciate anything you are able to give.
