Before and After

Before
After
After




My daughter was assigned to do a community project.  I gave her a couple of choices and we decided to clean up the "no-man's land" between our neighborhood and a section of businesses.  This is a spot that a lot of people pass through and use as a trash can.










 
We cleaned up the space (3 large trash bags worth!), painted bricks to decorate the path, and planted flowers.









And one really cool thing... since we spruced up the path no one has dumped any litter there!




As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.

  2. That's so encouraging that people take notice when you do a good deed.

    1. Oh I know Courtney- it is both "nice being needed" and nice to be able to SEE a physical difference when a project is completed.
