Cynthia Cockerham, Executive Director of LEDD, speaks with parents of students that participated in the Strand Village Project #thrive after school program during March and April during a parent’s night finale April 28, where the students displayed their projects. The community development project of LEDD is funded in part by a Substance and Alcohol Program Prevention Grant from The Rapides Foundation. The program taught children, ages 7-17, Photoshop, video editing, drones, and more and ran from March 1 through April 28.
