While listening to the speakers explain how important the Census forms are to Hacienda Heights, House Representative Grace Napolitano steps into the room to speak to the volunteers and students. She explained what the census forms do for our community, and gave a little information on her job as Representative, and what she does, why she cares so much about the community and how every person can make a difference.
After her speech, the students and voluters left to start their door to door reminder of the residents to send in their census forms to help benefit our community. Jackie, Kevin and I traveled together, and met many different people, most of whom confirmed that they did send in their census forms already. When confronted with a language barrier, we gave the person the paper provided by the census volunteers to the individual's spoken language.
After the few hours of walking, the buddhist monks in hacienda heights treated the volunteers with some food donated by their temple.
