devils in trinidad

Lisa and I are still in the process of meeting with local villagers to talk about community issues and concers. This past week, we had the opportunity to meet with the “movers and shakers” of the California Village Council. They echoed many of the concerns that the villagers we’ve spoken with have voiced thus far: drug use within the community, idling youth, and a lack of space for the older members of the community to convene. Its interesting meeting with so many different types of people, each with their own story, yet all expressing virtually the same concerns for their community.

The most rewarding interviews are with those members of the community who are taking the initiative to make a difference. We’ve met with schoolteachers, religious leaders, retirees who are all committed to promoting a positive impact in California.
