Re: Poetry Workshop
Dear Wakefield:
The Youth Possibility Program would like to thank you for the wonderful workshop that you co-delivered with poet Kirk Ramdath. As you know, the Youth Possibility Program is a six-month life and employability program for at risk minority, immigrant and aboriginal youth.
On September 15, 2006 you co-facilitated a 2.0 hour poetry workshop for 20 participants at our agency. The workshop included defining poetry and poet, delivering examples of word usage in poetry, reading some of your own work and co-facilitating a poetry workshop and reading session with the program participants.
I would like to thank you for co-developing such a wonderful workshop, and for encouraging the participants to use their creativity and their voice.
Best Regards,
Karina Ramdath
Community Development Facilitator
**(note: Wakefield Brewster has on other occasions volunteered his time to perform the same type of workshop as a solo Poet/Spoken Word Artist)**
