Join us as we walk together today at Sarah P. Duke Gardens with our special guests, Pastor Wanda Boone and Pastor Earl Boone. Dr. Wanda Boone is the founder and executive director of Together for Resilient Youth (Durham TRY). Together for Resilient Youth is a Drug Free Community Support Program grantee (DFC) in year 7 of the award. DFC grantee coalitions must be established community-based youth substance use prevention groups capable of effecting community- level change.
For many years, Earl and Wanda have been two of the 400,000 annual visitors to Duke Gardens, where admission is free, but parking can be a challenge on a beautiful day like today. Open every day of the year from 8am to dusk, Durhamites can join folk from all over the world as they stroll through open space, stone steps, walking trails, and 55 acres of specialized gardens.
In this episode, Alexandra, Wanda and Earl share stories of resilience... how being strangers upon arrival in Durham, as well as the support each received from strangers, helped them survive and overcome challenges along the way. In telling the story of "Why TRY?" Pastor Wanda reveals the motivation, commitment, and promise of the effect that one caring adult can have in the life of young people who have experienced adverse childhood experience (ACES), and Pastor Earl introduces us to the power of intergenerational connections we can make with strangers nearing the end of life.
