“My best memory is just the kids. I mean the look on their faces, some of them have never even been to the water to see it up close, and it’s sad. Your inner-city kids don’t see that, you know, never touched the water. So, my best memory is working with the younger kids more than anything.”
Michael
“How people make a way out of no way and our resilience and relationship to what’s given to us is just outstanding. What the community has given to me is a sense of resiliency, of love for one another, and it keeps me humble.”
Jen
“With green space in general, you feel connected no matter what's going on in your life, and you can go out and feel protected there. That is so important and so many city kids don't get to do that.”
