City Springs Elementary School first grader Jahmal Harrison, right, talks to his mother Tameka Harrison, after she found out he was in a fight with another student after school. Tameka, who can't work due to a facial injury, volunteers at her son's school where poverty is the norm. Ninety-six percent of the student body qualifies for free lunches. Tameka and Jahmal, who suffers from lead poisoning, used to live in one of the close-by housing projects, but have been homeless for the last two months. They're currently staying at Sarah's Hope Shelter in West Baltimore.
