The Young Leaders' Council (YLC) of FOCUS Youth has officially started their Clean and Green Campaign. On Friday, March 28, 2008, students and community members alike took hold of rakes, brooms and shovels!

It was a bright, sunny day here in North Lawndale. When we arrived on the scene, there's was obviously a lot to do.

So everyone just started right in. "Grab a bag, rake or shovel and start cleaning!" Blue bags were distributed for recycling. Gloves for safety. And off we went.
What a journey! We found all kind of things.
Beams.
Dead trees.
Bottles, bottles and more bottles.
We pulled up weeds as big as trees.
And found all kinds of other items such as a small sledge hammer, a carborator, lots of old clothes and a few tools.
A few hot chocolates and shovel-fulls of trash later...
...and our visit was well worth it. A cleaner, safer lot - on our way to a cleaner, safer community.
