Week Twelve Today is the 12th week of my internship and the 3rd of April, 2014.

My supervisor introduced me to a man called Jack Sanders in a meeting of agencies collaborations. This guy gave me a description of what types of projects he has been working on and his networking capabilities. He pointed out other places of interest, developing a project (penpal) with individuals in corrections centers and a book called The new Jim Crow: mass incarceration in the age of colorblindness by Michelle Alexander. In our discussions, we talked about voting right of the formerly incarcerated men and women who are free but not free indeed. The book tells the story of Cottons family tree. The story of several generations of black men who were born in the United States but who were denied the most basic freedom that democracy promise the freedom to vote for those who will make the rules and laws that govern ones life. All of these discussions came about from my project on the target population (prisoners) for my Cultural Immersion paper. Moreover, we made a few more progress during the week as reported during our regular daily meetings. We had 4 new participants enrollments, two (2) job placements (employments), added to the eight last week, one (1) mentor/mentee matched and 2 mentees waiting for mentor match. I also had compliments from my supervisor on the significant of my inputs with the agency.
