Interview with Gov Deval Patrick on Project 351 & Haiti Earthquake Relief
By Talia Whyte
Gov. Deval Patrick joined over 400 8th graders representing every city and town in Massachusetts Jan. 15 to commence his administration’s ambitious youth service day – Project 351. The event was organized by the Patrick-Murray Inaugural Committee and took place on the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to help honor his legacy of service. The youth ambassadors were selected by the superintendents and principals in their communities based on their strong ethic of service.
In addition to making a stop at the Catholic Charities Haitian Multi Service Center, Gov. Patrick, Lt. Gov. Murray and the ambassadors also visited other area nonprofits, including The Dimock Center, Greater Boston Food Bank, and Blackstone Elementary School.
