PROFESOR MARTIN HONORED AS LATINO BY HITN-TV

By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”

PAY PAL NOTICE
Something new in 2010. You can now order the GED program. It is so simple! Click on the word clic above my article (in the white section on the right). By clicking you can go to my website and find "Services" to order the GED program in English or Spanish. See the Pay Pal there. Thank you for taking this important, powerful step in your life. I really hope that a job or higher education awaits you, even induction into the military. Your future is important!


If your organization has a grant writer or access to a grant writer, please contact me as soon as possible. Great things may happen to help people all over the United States and Puerto Rico! I encourage you to send this article to all of your contacts. There are billions of dollars available and you can help by working closely with me. Keep in mind that the GED is in the political race of the City Council of New York. Dominican candidates have lined up behind my GED campaign and other candidates have the GED on their websites. Your community needs to do the same thing.

It must be obvious now that “El Quijote del GED” has become one of the best known educators in the Latino world. The word is getting out to more people now through television. Among the great memories (meeting famous people category) that I have had over the last 9 years, I believe that meeting Amelia Vega on a beautiful beach in Punta Cana, meeting and speaking to President Leonel Fernandez on various occasions, and being with Juan Luis Guerra at the BMI Awards rank among the best with famous people. You can obtain all the lyrics that I have used in Spanish for the series of articles that I call my “Ojalá Qué Llueva Educación” articles. Just write to me and ask for those lyrics in Spanish. Being considered as a Hispanic truly ranks up there with the other great memories in my educational campaign. I thank the staff of HITN-TV for this honor.

In the same year, Barack Obama made it to the White House and a Jewish-American was honored as a Latino by HITN-TV. They said it was impossible. The show was aired for the first time on Labor Day, Sept. 7, 2009 and it will be on other dates as well. I am partnering with the father of Sean Bell. Sean Bell was shot and killed just before his wedding by the New York City Police. Working with William Bell is another one of my great memories that is ongoing. We want to cut down on the dropout rate from high school and help gang members and people coming out of prison with the GED. We also want justice, jobs, and education for people. Contact us for more information.

Gladys de los Santos has told her story on HITN-TV. She went from not trying to take her GED to passing the test three months later. Her story is not just about making three times more money with her GED. She is bringing her mother to the United States from Santo Domingo. Six years ago she was living alone in a rented room and now she will be reuniting with her mother. That GED is really helping her in so many ways.

Alphonso Bonilla and Reverend Juan Castillo called the studio to speak up about the GED. Alphonso Bonilla has a Christian ministry in Rikers Correctional Facility and an English language show on Radio Vision Cristiana. I have been a guest speaker for his ministry in Rikers and we collaborate together. Reverend Juan Castillo invited me to be a guest speaker at the World Convention of Churches of Assemblies of Christ in Haverstraw, New York and he was the first person to invite me into a meeting in New York City to speak about the GED. He knows about the help that I gave to his family and staff.

Here is the story. Few people in the world were prepared to be named by the Salvadoran newspaper as “El Quijote del GED.” The work started in the Consulate of El Salvador in Brentwood, New York. Every consulate of Latin America should have been doing the same thing, but it did not do so. Consul General Luis Montes-Brito told me after only three weeks, “You can come into my consulate and do whatever you want.” So I did it. Along the way I began doing conferences with ASPIRA of New York and was later made the official blogger of ASPIRA in Washington, D.C. My articles have appeared in dozens of Spanish newspapers across the United States and in El Salvador.

President Leonel Fernandez led the way toward helping me help the Dominican community by holding the Official Practice Test in his hands for a photo shoot for me. We have had several great conversations about the GED and he has spoken about the importance of the GED in the Presidential Palace. President Antonio Saca of El Salvador followed the example of President Fernandez in 2008. This year I was named by the government of President Antonio Saca the official educator of El Salvador, working with the consulates to mobilize the community toward education.

Adolfo Carrión is now the Director of Urban Policy in the White House and it was he who gave me the Bronx Supreme Court for my GED event there years ago. Again this was an initiative that each consulate of Latin America should have copied, but it was not. On August 31, the White House Special Commission for the Educational Excellence of the Hispanic Community told an audience in La Guardia Community College that it wants to partner with “El Quijote del GED” and others.

Over 500,000 pages of my work have been read around the world on ahorre.com. I thank Geoffrey Gonzalez, owner of ahorre.com, for what he has done for the Latino community and for me.

Maybe the Dream Act will be enacted. We do not know for sure, but hundreds of thousands of Latinos are being left out of jobs because they do not have a diploma. Thousands are in gangs and not being given the education they need to leave gangs and be independent and out of harm’s way. There are 700,000 people leaving jail that need education and opportunities. The GED Hotline is there to help. Millions of immigrants are waiting for a shot at that path to citizenship and most are unprepared for the educational demands talked about. Thousands are being deported by Homeland Security and they, too, should be packing their GED diploma so they can continue their education in the country of their birth. It is good to dream, but less us help all adults with the GED and English language acquisition.

You can see how Hispanics have helped me in my educational campaign. We must unite to work even harder.
