HOMEPAGE I STUDENTS  

"Shortly after returning from Costa Rica, I made a commitment to increase environmental awareness at my school. I could apply the ethic and essence of that intention to an awful problem in urban Los Angeles - its disregard for animals left without homes. Believing my friends and I must do our part, I founded The Pet Adoption Club. It is my way of illustrating that the dire need for solving community issues starts with oneself. Our purpose was to educate the public about our city's crowded animal shelters and find homes for stray animals."
