JBJ Soul Foundation / Hopeworks News

A couple of JBJ Soul Foundation items to point you to:

First John Shultz describes a visit from JonBon to Hopeworks and the CRIB, which the JBJ Soul Foundation helped make possible.  Jon took the time to chat with some of the Hopeworks youth.  When asked what it took to "get into" the music business, Jon had this to say (paraphrased by Mr. Shultz):

...it takes the same steps that are necessary in order to be great in any activity: practice and dedication. He said that he practices playing the guitar and singing everyday and that that is what needs to be done for anything you want to excel at in life. You might catch a lucky break, but that’s only going to happen if you are out there trying to make it happen. Nobody becomes a great singer or scientist, DJ or dentist by sitting at home and not participating in that activity. You have to put in the effort and energy needed to achieve the results and consequences you are looking for.

Second, if you haven't had a chance to check out the video at the JBJ Soul Foundation, check it out.  If you need you spritis lifted, this will do it for you.

Finally, Jon checked on the progress of a LEED-Certified apartment building in Center City Philadelphia.  The JBJSF joined Project H.O.M.E. and Bethesda Project in building these apartments to serve as housing for formerly homeless men and women.
