Welcome to the L.A. Karma Project

THE LA KARMA PROJECT BLOG IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. CHECK BACK SOON FOR OUR NEW LOOK! Welcome, Willkommen, Bruchim Ha'Baim, Aloha, Benvenuto, Marhaban, and Bienvenido. We have decided to go out and put some of our free time to good use by volunteering around the L.A. area. We will be writing about our experiences on this website. We hope bring awareness to some of these amazing opportunities and hopefully get more people involved in volunteering and serving others. We have also created a Facebook group, L.A. Karma Project, which we encourage you to join. We will be posting events to get groups together and help out at some of the various organizations. If you have any suggestions of places to volunteer at, be sure to let us know. Also, if you have been to any of the places we have already written about, please leave a comment to let others know about your opinion. Thanks for checking out the site!

Cut The Crap:
Shane's Inspiration was founded 11 years ago by two parents who lost their child soon after birth. They realized that had their child, Shane, lived; he would have never had been able to play on a normal playground. They made it their mission to make a universally accessible playground. What started as one playground, has spread and their are many of these playgrounds not just in LA, or the country, but around the world. Click here to visit Shane's Inspiration.

Our Experience:
Third times the charm... But the first and second times were great fun too, so I guess that saying doesn't apply. As usual Shane's inspiration was a great time in the park. The weather was great and everyone had a blast. For entertainment, Campbell Hall's theater club put on two great skits telling Colombian folk tales. Thanks to Jennifer and Amanda for coming and helping out. And no thanks to Josh and Nick, who decided playing golf on the adjacent golf course was a better use of time than enriching the lives of today's children.
