Testimonies

“I have been a part of the Delta House’s After-School Program. I have also   been a parent volunteer for the last three years. I work as a bus driver for ART or Asheville   Regional Transit, and the hours fit my schedule because sometimes I get off late or may have to work. Delta House is also a safe place for my daughter to be between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 PM. I have enjoyed the program and participating, so it was cultural opening the eyes of the kids, going to New Orleans, and being a part of LEAAP and LEAF is awesome. My daughter also has to play with other Delta House Jazz Band members in the high school band. They use the same skills help they play in school. I enjoy seeing the kids show their talent and have the community’s support. If other parents see me supporting the program, they will be able to come and help by supporting their kids.”  Cornelia, Parent
 
“I like the Delta House because it is fun and you get to do activities, play music, cook, go to new places, do art work, and get to learn new things. If you’re at home and doing nothing, you should come to the Delta House, and you will have fun.”  Danielle, 12th Grade
 
“I like the Delta House because some of my friends are here, and I thought they had cool jazz music. I don’t have to go to another after-school program, and you get to go to different places.” Rajinder, 12th Grade

“I love coming to Delta House because  I can get help with my homework, play in the jazz band and have fun with my friends.”  Nekai, 6th Grade
