Deb Gordon-Gurfinkel: Helping at-risk kids tell their stories
From the Ann Arbor Observer (10/23/11)
Deb Gordon-Gurfinkel addresses a dozen children, ages six to eight, in the community center at Carrot Way, a low-income housing complex off Dhu Varren Rd. A compelling, pixie-like figure with a British accent, she wears a lavender shirt, the same take-notice color as her hair. "Write a story on the secret of Carrot Way," she tells them, then leans in, saying conspiratorially: "It's a secret that only you know." Some kids giggle in suspense, some frown in confusion, but after a few questions, they're off with their volunteer mentors to write their stories.
