Thanks to Colin, the kids who couldn’t afford the following things, now are able to compete more favorably on homework and SAT prep. What was really cool about the stop in Harlem is that Colin and Nessa also had some important conversations with the youngsters

“In #Harlem having important conversations and gave out backpacks as the freshmen class get ready for school RP @wearedream – A few weeks ago, @kaepernick7 donated 25,000 to DREAM as part of his million dollar pledge. Today, he and @nessnitty stopped by to talk to our founding 9th graders about activism, taking risks, and starting difficult conversations. We’re so grateful to have friends who believe in our youth and their future. #WeAreDREAM”
