My friend Carol Houston is the President of Eagle Empowerment, an organization in South West Los Angeles that works with at-risk youth. Carol is also the pastor of Bethel Unspeakable Joy Church, which is right in the heart of South Central, and she serves with me on the Board of Trustees of Westmont College.
I know a lot of cool people; Carol is one of the coolest. Maybe the coolest.
Eagle Empowerment took a group of students to Belize earlier this summer. Along with their adult leaders, the students from Eagle Empowerment did some great work for the schools that PathLight works with. Their willingness to serve made a powerful impression on the communities. Just as important, the people of Belize had a powerful impact on the youth from South Central!
It was a great trip for them and I’m proud of my friend Carol and all the good work she does. Here are a few pictures from their trip:
