KaBOOM Santa Ana
Greetings,
What a busy weekend! On Saturday, KaBOOM! gave me another opportunity to photograph the launching of their Santa Ana playground. The first playground for Southern California was in Los Angeles where I met Xzibit! Nevertheless, the Santa Ana playground was just as fun!
I love these charity events because there are so many people gathered for a single cause. Again, the goal of these playgrounds is to invite kids to play and learn about friendship. Aside from physical development (through motor skills), kids get to learn about sportsmanship and make new friends!
They used 20,000 pounds of wood chips and 20,000 pounds of cement - wow!
Team HEART!
The senator of California!
For those who did not know, it was Caesar Chavez Day! The grandson of Chavez was there too to help!
Overall, it was a blast working with the volunteers. I put down my cameras at times to help move some heavier items. This time I came prepared - I brought sunblock! I am still peeling from last time's event.
Kind regards,
Doug
