VIOLENCE PREVENTION THROUGH BEAUTIFICATION

FIRST WE WANT TO CONVINCE AS MANY YOUNG ADULTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO THIS SUMMER TO COME OUT N VOLUNTEER WE ALREADY RECRUITED 28 PEOPLE WE ARE SETTING OUT TO BEAUTIFY THE NEIGHBORHOODS. WHICH WILL B DONE BY CLEANING THE ABANDON HOMES THAT PPL HAVE LEFT DUE TO ECONOMY. WE WILL MOW LAWNS, PLANT NEW FLOWERS IN THE YARDS AND CLEAN ALL LOOSE TRASH N THE AREA. WE ARE ALSO GOING TO REUSE PAINT BUCKETS AND PAINT CANS AS FLOWER POTS THAT WE WILL DECORATE SOME OF THE FLOWER POTS WILL HAVE THE NAME OF VICTIMS LOST OR BADLY AFFECTED BY VIOLENT MISHAPS IN CERTAIN; NEIGHBORHOODS TO SERVE AS A REMINDER AS TO HOW DUMB VIOLENCE IS. I KNOW THIS WILL KEEP LOT OF MY PEERS BUSY DURING THE DAY AND KEEP THEM FROM BEING BORED. GIVING THEM SOMETHING TO DO INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM HANGING OUT ON CORNERS AND GETTING INTO TROUBLE OR FIGHTS WILL CUT THE CRIME DOWN. WE WILL NOT ONLY STOP THERE THE VOLUNTEERS WILL HELP THE ELDERLY WITH THEIR YARDS AS WELL AND THE DISABLE. NOW THAT SOCIAL SECURITY HASNT INCREASE IT IS BECOMING HARDER FOR THEM TO KEEP UP THEIR HOMES..WE WILL ALSO USE OUR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WITH OUR FOOD DRIVES.THE FOOD COLLECTED WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE EDLERY AND DISABLE TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOW INCOME THEY ARE LIVING ON. THIS IS MY MOTHERS DREAM SHE STARTED US ON THIS ENDEAVOR BUT SHES SICK NOW, SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE IT FOR US AND FOR HER.WE ARE GETTING MORE OF OUR PEERS WHO INTERESTEDTHROUGH OUR FACEBOOK PG IN OUR PROJECT. WE ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY MAKING AN IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY..AND ALSO HELPING OUR ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THESE ACTIONS.
