A Birthday With a Cause

By Oggie Medina

Singer-songwriter Carmela Charles chose recently to mark her birthday by supporting a meaningful cause — a feeding program and school supplies outreach for the children of San Luis Central School in San Luis, Aurora.

“Birthdays remind us to count our blessings. Perhaps the most meaningful way to celebrate is by sharing those blessings with others,” said Carmela of Carmela Children Collaborative.
