Stanford LDSSA-Service

We have many service activities, here are some examples of what we did last year:

Habitat for Humanity
This summer, we went up to Redwood City for a day and worked on a few houses that habitat for humanity is building. We moved gravel, built walls, painted walls, and most importantly had a lot of fun working together.

Escondido Village Carnival
Every year, we help out with a children's carnival in Escondido Village, the on-campus housing for married couples. There are always lots of kids, and we help out with a train, ponies, popcorn, sno-cones, food, and a petting zoo. It's lots of fun, and even better because you are helping all of the little kids have a great time. The Stanford Daily mention us in an article about the Carnival.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Tech Service Day
In January, we went over to Willow Oaks Elementary School for a day and helped install and catalogue computers. It was great to see these gently-used computers from businesses replace clunker computers from the 90's. We worked hard, got a lot done, and enjoyed some tasty donuts at the end of the day. The teachers were really appreciative, and we got some excellent attention for the church.

Rebuilding Together
Every year, we participate in a community project called Rebuilding Together. We usually work on a house that is out of repair, fixing it up on the inside, clearing out unneeded items, and beautifying the premises. It is a wonderful service oppurtunity because you can see how you are blessing the lives of others.
