Colorado's MLK Day 2010
|
Americans in all 50 states made
this historic weekend and expanded King Day of
Service "a day on, not a day off" … Participation in these
service projects is likely to surpass the one
million mark--doubling last year's level.
“Last year on MLK Day several
hundred thousand engaged in public service.
Today it'll be millions.“
-- Martin Luther King, Jr. III |

Intercambio de Communidades Denver's mission is to build respectful
communities and broaden opportunities for
immigrants through language education, cultural
exchange, and friendship.
Sarah Shikes, Executive Director, expressed
interest in having a VISTA bring a class of
students, HS or College aged, come to an ESL
class to practice English. Depending on
class level, this could be discussion on
diversity, it could be an event, they would be
willing to partner with you in a number of ways.
There likely would be availability on MLK
Day\Cesar Chavez Day and they may be interested
in walking together in the Marade.
