boom, I can summarize it for you. its not a great cause to put in as of now anymore it is already "saved", but its inspirational atleast as there as so many schools in need of funding just like this one
Dude behind "humans of new york" makes a living taking photos of randoms and quoting them. People likes his stuff as he haves a huge followerbase. I guess he is real good at getting poeple to open up; gets them to tell alot of interesting stuff. All sorts of people been on there, from homeless to celebrities but it´s mostly your average joe talking about his daily struggles/dreams and whatnot.
He randomly photos this boy whos name is Vidal one day, he was asked who his biggest influence was and he said his principal and gave his reasoning. This in turn made the photographer to seek out the principal of this place Brownsville (Mott Hall Bridges Academy). She explained the troubles they had at this school and how they never see anything outside the projects and how much they backtrack during summers due to no stimulance at all(being inside for the most part as outside is straight up dangerous) amongst other reasons and struggles, they brainstormed an idea to fundraise for yearly schooltrips to harvard university, as a carrot and inspiration for the kids, seeing this whole other world. Goal was set for $100k as it would then last for 10 years I think, the thing went viral and absolutely exploded in donations. They are now over $1m and now they can also throw in summerschool every year for years to come(costs~ $30k/year to have summerschool) and obviously alot other stuff can be done to help their education with their new influx of money.
Basically it was just a cool thing to experience on a morning to morning basis as I wake up and scroll the phone for a few minutes.
