...this end, he will give lectures entitled “Can We Change?” (03/02) and “Yes, We Can Change” (03/07). He will give homework assignments like “get eight hours of sleep” and “write a letter expressing your gratitude to a person whom you appreciate...
...tutored in a tough academic area, hone resume-writing skills, or even practice college interviews. And in some cases, voice lessons are thrown in on the side. Farrell R.

But like most other people in the banlieues, he's wary of politicians and their promises. The Intercultural Social Center, where Siby volunteers to help kids with their homework, is still waiting for one-third of the money the government promised for 2005; other associations in the community have similar complaints, despite the state's vow to increase funding in the wake of the riots.
