PROJECT MERIENDA / KENNY KUSINA

My name is Kenrick Mercado, and my sister’s name is Richel Hall. We both live in Richmond, but I work in San Francisco as a Chef, and Richel is a full-time student at Contra Costa College and a part-time Teacher Assistant at a parochial after-school program. In 2015, we established our after-school education program at San Francsico's Bessie Carmichael School campuses, the state's first bilingual Filipino public school.  Our program we created, is called Project Merienda, named after the Pilipino word for “afternoon meal.”

Oregon Afterschool for Kids

Oregon ASK is a collaboration of public and private organizations and community members which seeks to address common issues and concerns across all out-of-school time services, including  child care, recreation, education, and youth development. As an afterschool intermediary, we connect many stakeholders in the third space of learning, beyond the classroom and the home. We work to build the capacity of afterschool programs and provide training and technical assistance to program providers.

MARC Community and School Garden

Our garden program is one piece of our community's goal to make healthy food accessible and affordable for all residents. Our goal is for students to be invested in both their own health and the environment; we believe they can do this by working outside and developing a relationship with the garden space. When students are involved in the process of growing and preparing food, we believe they will be more excited to eat fresh foods.
