Hi!

It was a pleasure watching this video. Thank you Walnut Creek Library Foundation for hosting such a wonderful opportunity for creativity and expression. I am the one at 37 minutes and the main picture when you click on the video. I just wanted to thank the creators of this idea to have a poetry contest. I think it opens up many doors for children my age. – Meher George (37 mins)
Meher, thank you for your feedback and for being part of the program! We love the contest and having the students read their poems.
