Despite NYC’s reputation as uncaring and anonymous, many of its residents are considerate and generous with their time—and money. The unique after-school program that opened its doors on Manhattan’s West Side on January 9 is an excellent example of the city’s capacity to rise to new challenges with compassion.
They had to focus on the Upper West Side since public schools there were receiving so many of these children. Several recent news stories described desperate principals receiving overnight tens if not hundreds of new non-English speaking students and in which irate parents of existing students expressed unhappiness with how this influx was diverting the teachers’ time and slowing down the regular pace of learning.
The Times Square program continues to grow in an organic manner. For example, a staff member, Stella Lillig, recognized that the parents waiting for their children did not speak English, so she began giving language lessons. The need for warm dinners also became apparent so daily snacks and pizza were brought in. More recently, the children and their families have slowly started sharing chilling stories of their journeys.
