LSA junior Sandhya Kajeepeta, a BYGP executive hoard member, said Bright- moor is a predominantly black Detroit neighborhood that confronts issues of pov- erty, crime and racial ten- sion. According to Kajeepeta, the club - comprised of 25 members that host four to five mass volunteer days each year and contribute a total of about 8,000 hours of service work - originally formed to help Brightmoor youth, but now works to benefit the community in any way pos- sible. "(We form) relationships with the community and use all the resources we have as University students to mobi- lize them and help them with whatever they need," Kajeepeta said. "It is all about them and what they hope for their community." LSA junior Sam Moryk- was, a BYGP executive board member, said the club hopes to provide University stu- dents with a unique learning experience by involvingcthem in the Brightmoor commu- nity. "Each aide has many skills that can benefit the other side," Morykwas said. Kajeepeta said she has learned more about Detroit and the power of community relationships through her involvement. "Every time I go there I learn something completely new ... nothing compares to being around the people who live in Brightmoor," Eajeepe- ta said. -AARON GUGGENHEIM Newsraom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Correctioss corrections@mihigandaily.com Arts Section arta@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales diaplay@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com Ness Tips n~ewa@michigandaily.com lettes tothe tditor tothedaily@michigandaily.com, Editonial Pate opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@micigandaiy.om Classified Sales claasified@m ichieendaily.com finance finance@michigandaily.coms PAUL SHtRMAN/Daily LSA freshman Vinny Shea beats a makeshift drum on she Diag yesterday.
