First hour: Candidates for Rochester City Council, East District

Second hour: Humans for Education

We continue our series of conversations with candidates for Rochester City Council. This hour, we hear from candidates for the East District seat. They discuss their platforms and priorities, and they answer your questions. In studio:

  • Michael Geraci
  • Wayne Harris
  • Mary Lupien
  • Stanley Martin
  • Bryce Miller

Then in our second hour, there are more than 1.5 million charitable organizations in the United States. Thousands are formed each year. So how is a small organization, formed in Rochester and focused on helping kids in Kenya, going to survive? We sit down with the ambitious Daphne Pariser, who believes she has the unusual formula for launching an international effort and making it thrive. Humans for Education is growing, and is aiming to build a healthcare clinic that can serve 2,000 Kenyan families. We'll talk about how she's trying to get it done.
