Local Asian Restaurants Raise Awareness of Human Trafficking

Playgrounds Cost a Fortune, But are Worth Every Penny

The Fortune School, a public charter school serving grades K-3, recently opened in Stockton Square Plaza at 6829 Stockton Boulevard (at 65th Street) in Sacramento.

Although the school offers indoor yoga classes, they do not have a playground for the children.  They have already raised $16,000 towards their goal of $30,000 to build one.  The school is asking for your financial support as well as volunteers to help build the playground over the MLK Day weekend of January 14-16, 2012.
