Even though I have found that young people that I have worked with are happy to reach out to others once they are armed with a little knowledge, we adults are much more timid about connecting with people. I was hoping the project had enough appeal to overcome that. It's a great learning experience about the real and perceived boundaries that exist in a place like New York City! Maybe I can work on a project that really explores that aspect... I totally agree with you.

I wonder if individuals didn't step forward in expected numbers because of the neighborhood outreach element. I was very interested in participating earlier in the year when I lived in Bed-Stuy, but unfortunately I didn't know the neighbors and could not imagine myself approaching them about the project. This would be a great way to connect people and get them involved in working together if only we were not already so isolated and alienated from each other! Hi Eve.
