Children and families from the Reading Gurukulam Foundation recently cleaned up Stonecliffe Recreation Area in Reading.<\/p>\n
The event was part of the foundation\u2019s mission to help children develop character through selfless service, responsibility, teamwork, and respect for the environment, officials said. Young volunteers worked alongside parents to clean the park and demonstrate that meaningful community service begins at a young age.<\/p>\n
\u201cService to the community is one of the best ways to build character,\u201d said Dr. Manoj Singla, foundation president. \u201cWe hope these experiences inspire children to become responsible and compassionate citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n
