A wonderful visit with Councilman Joe Buscaino!

Arriving at camp this morning things seemed a bit gloomy, the sky was dark and grey. But leave it to our wonderful camp director, Anwar to bring the energy! The camp was divided into two groups and a “hype off” took place to see what group can be the most enthusiastic! After three rounds of intense cheering, the Wolfgang group prevailed. With a newfound energy one group headed out to the baseball field and the other to the pool! 

On the field coaches and players from the San Pedro High School Program were back to teach the basics of baseball. Some students showed natural talent, other showed great improvement over a short amount of time. Back at the pool, students continued their daily lessons improving their swimming skills and enjoying the freedom of free swim time! 

After an earlier lunch, a special guest visit by Councilman Joe Buscaino took place! There was so much excitement as the students greeted the councilman. After photos and many handshakes, Councilman Buscaino went to speak with our high school students. They were full of interesting questions such as “At what age did you realize you wanted to seve your community?” and “How do I get in touch with a my city council member? Councilman Buscaino shared his story of how his love for serving the community was born. He also empowered the students by expressing to them that they have a voice and they can have an impact on their community. The students were so grateful for the opportunity to speak with the Councilman Buscaino. Thank you for all that you do for Sharefest and the community!
