The Safe Corps members performed numerous tasks across California on MLK Day 2008. The Bay Area members served with Habitat for Humanity building houses for economically disadvantaged families.
In Southern California, the Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and Ventura members along with, 525 LA Works volunteers celebrated Dr. King's legacy together by performing a major service project, one that revitalized a school, energized a community, and inspired a new generation of leaders.
Despite the rainy morning, we came together at 135th Street School in South Los Angeles. Armed with breakfast, coffee, and the determination to help others, we set to work. What transpired over the course of the day was incredible - murals painted, green spaces created, children participated in environmental education workshops and learned about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr by organizing a freedom march that wound through the campus.
