Cesar Chavez day of service

Hey everyone! Today I had the opportunity to participate in an awsome volunteer project called Cesar Chavez day of service. If you don't know who he is, he was a migrant worker who came to America in order to help many different kinds of people. We did these projects in his name. there were many different service sites, but I went to a church called La Vida Nueva, which means, A New Life. This church does many different things for the surrounding Latino population. Not only is this a church, but they have started many different programs to get the community involved. These are things like; a GED program, English classes, food pantries, clothes pantries and book clubs for the youth and adults. All of these prgrams are to help the Latinos to learn English so that they can become more involved in the US. The minister is a man who comes from Honduras and loves to help to his community. While we were there, we were painting and helping to clean up whatever they needed. We were there for 3 hours, but most of thought that it was not enough so we plan on going back to help! And, it was soooooo much fun!!!
