implement innovative, citywide initiatives that ensure Houston’s
communities share equal access to technology, equipment, training and
services, and to enhance opportunities for residents, businesses, and
community organizations to benefit from established and emerging
information technologies and initiatives.

collaborative effort with People in Partnership. This supports the

Action Network - Kidz Choicez, and Pleasant Hill Academy. The focus is
Technology - Cultural History and the Media. The collaboration uses media
training provided by Bob Neal the local facilitator for

Children's Media of Santa Fe, New Mexico as well as local
instructors This will prepare the youth
of the community for the future
revitalization of the Cultural Arts District in Fifth Ward in

will use their newly developed expertise to capture the rich history
of both the Sunnyside and Fifth Ward communities.
