MakingFriends in Pocono PA is Phillip Mentor's homage to thestate he adores the most - Pennsylvania. After much workand dedication, Mentor's dream is fi nally coming true.Mentor was born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad andTobago. While in his twenties he lived in Philadelphia anddid a great deal of singing. He took acting classes at theUniversity of Pennsylvania and soon began to take vocallessons as a compliment to his acting. Not only is Mentorversed in English, he also sings in German, French, andItalian. He received scholarships and much musical trainingthroughout his early career. His singing won him a fi rstplace award in the North American Guild Voice
Competition.He traveled to schools and universities where he still tothis day holds master classes and lectures. Many of his talkscover the Harlem Renaissance and his hope that people canbe open to cultural expansion.I use my art as a teaching vehicle to inspire, to encourage,and to motivate, said Mentor.Together with Leslie Felix, a computer programmer,Mentor started a site that connects people to their communityin a similar way. Www.mfi ppa.com is unlike any othercommunity site, specifi cally in the sense that it does notappeal only to teenagers. Although the site also caters toyounger people, many of the activities, hobbies, and articlesare what Mentor calls 50 plus. It also can be translated into13 different languages with the touch of a button, makingthe information readily available to a wider array of individuals.After a quick, easy, and free registration, anyone has
theability to post articles and pictures, to blog, or to talk in theforums. From the home page there are categories of articlessuch as hobbies, games, and fi nance. Each category is brokendown into more specifi c groups, which, upon clicking,provide the user with a plethora of information.I want to build an online community that is self sustainingand allows people to do things that they can't do onMySpace or YouTube, said Mentor. This is about regularpeople, they just want to do regular things and have funwith it. It's about building community and bridges; mostpeople will not get that community up close.The site is constantly in upkeep and expansion, with akey focus upon readily accessible content in a user-friendlymanner. There is a photo museum made for anyone toupload visual images of their happenings around the area.There is a forum for users to communicate openly
withone another. There are direct connections with local maps,weather, and other useful resources such as a dictionary andclassifi eds section.I want people to just post the most positive things, saidMentor. I want people all over the world to see what kindof place the Poconos is. I want anything that is nice.Although his website is based upon the Poconos, he ishoping that others will follow his lead to create similar sitesin other areas. Mentor, who came to this area around 13years ago, can never get enough of the Poconos. Those wholove their own communities can begin doing the same thingonline.Making Friends in Pocono PA brought Mentor to the cyberworld.
