Why did you get involved in Beautiful Day?
The reason that I am in beautiful day is because I love to help people. I first started out by walking in AIDS walk with WestGate church, but that wasn't enough for me. Last year someone approached me and asked if I would lead a group in District Five, which is East San Jose. I agreed and was very happy with my decision, we had a great time going out in the neighborhood and helping people clean their yards and do some minor home repairs. This year, I am the project manager in District Five, too.
What are your needs in terms of team members?
For my project I am looking for some volunteers that don't mind getting their hands dirty and who love to serve others. I could really use people who have handyman skills. I could also use people who want to stay clean and don't mind flipping burgers or turning some hot dogs. I have lots of spaces to plug anyone in since I have a two-day project. My project is good for families with children seven years and older.
What would you like to see happen after Beautiful Day 2011?
If I could look into the future my ideal result for the project would be that the people we helped can see that we really cared about them and that we are not doing this just because it is a community project. Another thing would be that more people would come to know Jesus because we showed them love through our actions.
