Gardening and Fun, The Belmar Child and Family Center April 24,2004
The Center is a child guidance clinic that provides, among
other forms of therapy, horticulture therapy. The Center and Daniel Webster Middle School share the Garden. On this very sunny
and hot day Mocha's and their children gave it their all to help with the pulling up of old weeds and dead flowers. Afterwards
the group plantted new seeds for flowers as well as vegetable. At the end of the day the Mocha children had a chance to pick
fresh vegetables to take home from the garden.

Food in the Hood with Crenshaw High Scool L.A,
June 2002
One of the neighborhoods hit hardest by the Los Angeles riots of 1992, students found a way to revive their
community in their own backyard. Planting New Hope
Garden Food From The 'Hood was created to help students convert
a weed-infested, quarter-acre of dirt behind Crenshaw High School into a garden.
From the beginning, students donated
most of the produce to shelters or to people who didn't have any money to buy fresh vegetables. Now a thriving student-owned
business, Food From The 'Hood still donates its harvest to the needy. To date, the program has awarded nearly $200,000 in
scholarships to 77 of its graduates.
Mocha's joined in with the students to help cultivate their garden as well as
host a Bar B-Q with the students.
