Pittsburgh Project Looking to Shore Up Support from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
'The Pittsburgh Project began with a few dozen suburban kids and their youth pastor, Saleem Ghubril, repairing homes on Charles Street in Perry South in the summer. Twenty-six years later, the summer camp has grown into an institution at 2801 N. Charles St.: guiding service camps and other volunteer opportunities, offering summer and after-school programs to thousands of children -- most of them North Siders -- and repairing homes for 250 elderly residents in need each year.'
