RAY OF HOPE SPOTLIGHT: Our Rising Sun externs

Ray of Hope spotlight (In memory of Ray Perman)

This month, our Ray of Hope spotlight shines on two outstanding externs who have gone above and beyond in their efforts to become stewards of Lake Merritt. From removing trash to assisting with event setups and learning water quality testing, they’ve played a key role in improving the lake’s environment.

As their externship wraps up at the end of October, LMI will thank them with gift cards, and Tora Rocha has generously provided tickets for them and their families to attend the Autumn Light Festival.

A special thank you to Tora Rocha, Elena Bermeo, and the Rising Sun Fellows for making this possible. LMI takes pride in offering young people meaningful life and work experience.
