A group of students at Harding High School in Bridgeport, who participated in The School for Ethical Education's Youth: Ethics in Service (YES), recognized that homelessness is a problem and decided to do something about it. Beginning in the fall of 2002, these 21 students - 16 seniors and 5 juniors - met during their Peer Leadership class, under the direction of teachers Sheena Graham-Owens and Kevin Muhammad, to learn about homelessness and how they could make a difference.

To raise funds for those who are homeless and to increase awareness of this issue, the students have produced a CD of songs and poems. The CD, called "H.O.P.E.," can be ordered for $6 - including postage - by e-mailing Sheena Graham-Owens at sheena.graham@sbcglobal.net. The students will donate all proceeds from the CD.
