Hello, I'm a student reporter at The New School and this week we are working on a piece about civic engagement. Another reporter has already been in contact with Natalia Petrzela and will be attending some of the classes she instructs, but we were also curious about your involvement and are interested in your work with Natalia Petrzela and as a social entrepreneur. Is there any chance you might be willing to answer some questions? Thank you, Katie Bamberger 717-507-4709 — Asked by Anonymous
