Digital Phenom staff joined other volunteers from around the community to
help out building the house of the Negash family.
The Negash family were selected as the homeowners of the North Patrick Street house.
They have 2 children, Saleem, and Zakiy. Mrs. Negash's mother, Ms. Idris, also lives with
them. Mr. Negash is a DC cab driver and Mrs. Negash cares for the two children and her
mother. They are currently well underway with their first fifty hours of "sweat
equity."
Digital Phenom's founder, Atilla Kocsis, is also one of the project leaders for this
house.
This story received press coverage from the Washington Post and local television
channels. Here is a PDF of the Washington Post article.
