Success Stories

Rakibul

A Role Model for North Penn:  Rakibul Hassan

Rakibul, 17, attends North Penn High School and began volunteering at the Club three years ago when he realized he needed to turn his life around.  Rakibul has a great GPA at school, and helps run our Flag Football program.  His favorite subject is chemistry, and he hopes to attend Drexel or Temple, and one day work at a company like Merck.  His goals are also to be a leader in the Bengali community and to stay involved with the Club.  Congrats to Rakibul for his achievements!

Fresh From the Farm in Ambler

AmblerSucessStoryThanks to the popular healthy-eating program Food Four Thought and support from the Leo & Peggy Pierce Family Foundation and the VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn, Project Learn families made several trips to the Ambler Farmers’ Market.  Volunteer Miss Robyn and Site Director Kelly Kreamer-Curtis arranged for students and their families to tour the market, meet farmers, and share a healthy meal post-shopping.  The families also went home with healthy produce; thank you to Miss Robyn,  Ambler Farmers’ Market, the Pierce Family Foundation and the VNA Foundation for making this possible!

Raising Money and Hope in Indian Valley

 Members of the Keystone Club in Indian Valley held a bake sale to raise funds for a brave young man named Garret who has a rare neurological condition, Batten Disease.  The teens who participated raised more than $400, and raised awareness about this genetic disease which Garret and his family are facing with such great courage.  Thank you to the Keystone Club members who were proud to help out their new friend Garret. IVSuccessStory
