A DAY OF SERVICE TO HONOR DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

January 19, 2009

President-elect Barack Obama called today “A Day Of Service” in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.  He wanted everyone to spend their “day off”  as a “day on” by volunteering and remembering this amazing man. Well, I did just that!  I spent a few hours beautifying an elementary school in Downtown, Los Angeles.  I was one of over 500 volunteers that turned out to help paint murals, clean, and make the elementary school into a warm and welcoming environment for the students.  It was a great time, and it was so nice to be around so many volunteers who had the same overall goal: To help!  Check out the video:
