As the misguided patriotic U.S.A chanting and ferver subside ask yourself this, Why are you not out in the street, chanting J.O.B!.J.O.B! The news of Bin Laden being shot dead is only being released to keep your mind off of $5.00 per gallon gasoline, the continues devalued dollar, union busting, tax hikes, corporate tax dodgers and the destruction of American working class. chant with me- Hyper- Infla-Tion De-pres-ion, No Fu-Ture.

Youth of Today and Tomorrow(?)

Posted in Uncategorized with tags american, california politics, kids, recreation and parks, youth activities, youth culture on July 7, 2011 by gerilewis001

Ive been working /supporting mentoring kids and young adults from all over Los Angeles, USA and the world for almost 3 decades. Having grown up in a broken home, shoved aside and eventually ending up in a placement facility by the time I was 15, I understand many of the problems and uncertainty facing young people. I founded the VSA and Venice Surf-A-Thon 20 years ago to give youth something the can take ownership of and have pride in participating in a community event. I have been working in Compton, East Side Los Angeles, South L.A for about 15 years now @ the County/City pools and parks. Some of the parks and schools are Ted Watkins @ 103rd and Success, Campanella @ Straford and Rosecrans, Victoria @ 192 and Avalon, Gilbert Lindsay @ 42nd and Avalon, Lennox @ Lennox and Condon, Slauson on Compton and 54th. Below are links to quick spontaneous interviews some of the boys and girls and what they have to say about me, you and their hopes for a future.
