Mission 2: Riverwalk Health Fair

Objective: Create Kaleidoscopes and find new uses for household objects

Mission Complete: Over 75 individuals from the community crafted and took home Kaleidoscopes

On November 16, 2008, Eight HOC Agents ran two booths at the Loma Linda University Riverwalk Health Fair. Booth #1 taught kids of all ages how to make a kaleidoscope using a cardboard tube, wrapping paper, rubber bands, a plastic bag, and glass beads. Booth #2 engaged community members in finding new and creative ideas for objects found around the house. Designed to complement the opening of the new Loma Linda University Opthalmology Office, these activities showed others how to view the world around them in new and creative ways.

Mission 1: Trick or Can

On October 31, 2008, sixteen HOC Agents took to the streets surrounding the La Sierra University campus. In just two hours, agents collected 364 cans of food for needy families.
