Mixing concrete at Cordova ElementaryIt was inspiring to be have been part of a community of people, concerned citizens and other volunteers that came together on the behalf of children. We were all unified in the effort to help create and build a safe and exciting play space for children to dream about making the impossible possible. Through the miracle of creative development achieved in play and peer interaction, children gain skills to be resilient and create positive change, despite their demographic environment. My grandfather, Cesar Chavez, strove with resilience, determination and faith to bridging and transforming communities for cross-cultural connective social change and acceptance of all people. I believe Cesar Chavez would be proud as we exclaim his motto, "Si Se Puede!"  ( "It can be done!" )
