NOC Can Help in Jasper County!

August 2, 2019 By Kevin Ulmer

On July 25, 2019, Dr. Narendra Sharma, Founder & Chair of the Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC), spoke to the Town Council of Hardeeville, Jasper, County; SC. Dr. Sharma talked about NOC’s approach to community development with its strong presence in an underserved neighborhood where poverty is widespread. He added that the NOC model has a strong track record in generating results at lower cost. More importantly, he said that the NOC model is a cost effective way to promote community development in undeserved neighborhoods. He concluded that NOC can replicate its model in Jasper County where an NOC Learning Center would be managed, operated, and funded by local people with know-how, blue prints, and technical support from NOC’s central offices until such time as the program is self-sustaining with local support and resources.

NOC Enrichment Day at Marsh Pointe

August 2, 2019 By Kevin Ulmer

Thursday, August 1, was a beautiful day for the children and families at NOC’s Marsh Pointe Learning Center as they celebrated the successful end of the summer program. The NOC field team, together with the Burton Fire Department and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, made the day extra special for the children. Captain Dan Byrne and his team from the Burton Fire Department in Beaufort used their fire hose to create a rain shower to cool the children off. It was fun for the children, considering that it was sizzling hot outside. Sergeant Shea of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department brought school supplies for the children from Marsh Pointe and Parkview, and the children enjoyed a lunch of cheeseburgers, cookies, and juice. The children were also thrilled to receive NOC t-shirts.

A special thanks to our partners: the Burton Fire Department and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office.
