Joshua had his first "action" as a community organizer in Camden, New Jersey for the Cramer Hill neighborhood. St. Anthony of Padua's church and school communities are trying to get rid of an abandoned house that is just a few feet from the school and is known for drug deals. To the left is a poster used during the presentation -- "these drugs bags and vials were found on the property next to St. Anthony School in the last three months." That's almost 70 little bags, some of which still have residue in them! And the craziest part is that those living in the area weren't totally outraged by this sight. Unfortunately, seeing such things has become part of daily life in the area. If you could like to make a financial contribution to Joshua's organization, please feel free to contact Camden Churches Organized for People (CCOP) through their website at http://www.camdenchurches.org/.
