rahul singh, "champion for inner-city education among 'unsung heroes'".
"At age 21, with a dream and vision, Rajiv Shah started a program to mentor inner-city schoolchildren to help them develop the skills for success and prepare for learning after high school.
A decade later, the nine-year-long program has graduated its first class. It serves about 300 kids from fourth grade through high school in Minneapolis and St. Paul and has enlisted 150 after-school volunteers.
And today Shah is the youngest of 10 Minnesotans who will receive "unsung hero" awards from the McKnight Foundation.
Shah's nonprofit group -- Athletes Committed to Educating Students (ACES) -- uses a sports-oriented program to supplement the school curriculum in such areas as problem-solving, technology and homework."
very cool. good job.
