7h agoA group of single mothers and those who were formerly
incarcerated were the recipients of a scholarship for the Metropolitan College
of New York's Bronx campus last week.
The event was hosted by the Bronx Parent Housing Network.
Victor M. Rivera, the founder of BPHN, says he was a single
parent to two kids when he was incarcerated.
However, he earned his GED, bachelor's, and master's degrees
from the Metropolitan College of New York and is now giving back to those in
similar positions.
The BPHN distributed hot meals, food pantry supplies and
personal protective equipment after handing out scholarships.
