Many people hold Martin Luther King Day to be very dear to their hearts, but for many GW students, it now means something more. Students from all grades were bussed to different locations, on Monday, to clean, repair and improve the surrounding DC area. While many were sent to schools and community centers, others were cent to nursing homes and project sites.
“It was pretty cool helping gout the community,” said Adrian Levit, a freshman from New Jersey. “I wish I could have helped out for longer.”
As many as 2,000 students woke up early and traveled to these different locations to help out. Though many were satisfied, some were disappointed.
“I wish we could have stayed for a whole day,” said Kevin Goodwin, a sophomore, “It seems like a third of the time was speakers, a third traveling a third working. We definitely could have done more work.”
Regardless of time, many students from many backgrounds helped support the DC area and keep Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream alive.
