On Martin Luther King Day over 100 community members showed up to CLP's new garden on the corner of Cypress & Challen. The Confronteras student participants played a huge part in making this day a success! In addition to cleaning, planting, watering, and creating community awareness about the event, they also set up a Confronteras Booth - complete with a banner, fliers, treats and information!
Inspiration from Erica, read on!
"Opening the doors of the Arlanza garden to the community to celebrate Martin Luther King Day was one of CLP's most successful events yet! With the participation of over 100 community members and supporters, every single booth reached maximum capacity. It was really nice to see how interested our fellow members are in seeing our garden continue to grow. I spent a few hours at the painting booth, where we painted flower pots with designs of our dreams for the garden. I was surprised by everyone's dreams; they all wanted to see peace within the neighborhood! While I was finishing up my flower pot, I began to realize that the dream I shared with many others, of this grade bringing peace amongst us was already taking place. Side by side, we all worked together with smiles on our faces because we were surrounded by a positive environment...the Arlanza garden."
