life in Baldwin

Baldwin is a city on the south shore of Long Island. It is one of the few truly diverse and integrated cities in the state of NY. In Baldwin, the community prides itself on getting along well with others and assisting each other with their children. One neighbor brings my daughter to school along with other children whose parents are working. Another neighbor offered to watch my daughter after school until I came home from work. The children on the block get along well and often play dates are scheduled. We watch out for each others children and do not allow them to hang out in the streets. The schools in the community celebrate all cultures and students from various cultures share their knowlege with others. The children are exposed to all cultures and accept and praise differences in others. Diversity is key to getting along with each other as we navigate into this world that we live in. Kudos to this town that I live in.
