Some good news, people helping people! DP
UCLA News: About 20 UCLA students are part of Proyecto de Jornaleros, the Day Laborer Project. The program is a community service project of the UCLA Community Programs Office.
Every Saturday morning the volunteers go to gathering sites for day laborers — one in downtown Los Angeles and one in West Los Angeles. The volunteers also work on Friday mornings at the downtown Los Angeles center.
"One of my favorite parts of doing this is we have a chance to create a political and social awareness here in Los Angeles and in the nation," said Jesus Gonzales, one of the project coordinators. "We teach these English classes so they know how powerful words are, so they aren't stopped by a language barrier. They are able to stand up for themselves."
